Today’s new food trends focus on being healthy and more experimental in the kitchen by adding flavours, hence fresh herbs have become prevalent. Herbie offers a solution for problems related with expensive supermarket herbs dying quickly and challenges of growing plants indoors. It can create ideal settings for herbs to thrive and be tasty, while simplifying their growth.

Herbie, with its six different cartridges, involves the user in the plant growth from the seed stage. While the herbs beneft from Herbie’s different lightadjustments, its water compartment smartly eliminatesthe need for regular watering.

Herb cartridges includes the growth and value

information about herbs. Users buy these

cartridges and use them in the product.

PLACE start adjust

Watering compartment makes watering easier and cleaner by its form and being above the herbs. Also,water reservoir

allows plants take water from it for weeks.

Users can adjust the colour of light by sliding their finger on touchpad. By tapping the interface they can control light

intensity.

Because of its round form,Herbie saves space. Reaching and picking up the herbs is easy that users can use fresh herbs

while preparing food.

Herbie is durable and easy to clean. The plastic watering compartment is handwashable, and the water reservoir part it

dishwasher safe.

By placing the cartridges into pots Herbie recognizes the time the user plant them, and activates water infuser. Then the led

light above that pot wil turn on automatically.

Pots & Cartridges

Herbie’s form allows water to reach to the herb pots regardless of the water level. In addition, it has a water container with dripper system slowing the water flow, and preventining possible rise in water pressure. With its infuser parts attached to the pots, it provides regular water intake.

Different herbs thrive in different light spectrums and Herbie allows to make light adjustments according to herb’s specific

needs with a remote control.

When the water in container is about to run out, herbie starts giving voice warning for few seconds, and the water indicator

blinks till the user fills it.

Herbie’s interface shows water consumption, unless the user touch auto/manual button. Tapping once on it is manual mode which users can adjust light colors, while taping twice is the auto mode, which works with a timer and uses average

adjustments for herbs

Herbie gives feedback about plant growth. By knowing the lifecycle of herbs users can arrange

planting.

sphera2

Sphera -compact and practical food processor- has been designed achieve maximum benefits via great user involvement. The main differentiator of Sphera is its spherical shape and axis-free movement which help to process the food homogeneous and faster way. Sphera, with its

three-in-one functionality is a real time saver.

I also observed that users are trying to solve the se p r oblems by shaking. They usually have to interfere t o process because sometimes only some parts offood chopped, smashed or food doesn’t mix well.Therefore, I proposed a design solution, a foodprocessor that allows users to be involved in action.With help of the users Sphera can rotate spherically,which enables all parts of food to reach the knife or other apparatus, This results in

homogenous food, efective and faster usage.

PROBLEM DEFINITION& IDEA GENERATION

After visiting a couple of kitchen and experiencing different kind of products, I conclude the main problems of food processors as ineffciency of chopping and blending actions which generally results in nonhomogeneous mixes and food

stucked on the edges of containers.

nonhomogenousresults

stuck foos on theedges

Sphera offers 3 types of apparatus for chopping,blendig & mixing. They are placed in the bowl, then the bowl is capped with the engine part. The engine works by pressing any of the speed buttons, and if the user doesn’t push the buttons. Sphera can be rotated on the base part easily. This would speed up the action. After using the food processor.It can be cleaned easiliy because both bowl and engine parts have smooth and spherical surfaces.

Sphera only has two buttons that are for both starting/stopping the action and choosing the speed. When its running green light appears, and when it runs out of battery, light color changes.

OPERATOR

.

.

Proxima, is a backhoe loader cabininterior system, that adjusts along with the user’s needs. We want the users to interact with and understand the machine. Use multiple senses to increase control. We want to create a smooth workflow and not being disorientated by outside distrac-tions or movement inside the machine. Whether they've been operating the vehicle for years or for minutes, the operators must be able to understand and distinguish

between controls.

IDEATION& FINALIZATION

When we are deciding on structure, our aim was to find the optimum volume / surface area ratio, which should close to the typical dome structure. After deciding on the structure, we made several steel wire mock-ups to test it. Then we made1:1 nylon canvas mock-up to see it in real-world size and also detailing its ventilation by deciding on the position of the windows and door
