RESEARCH ABSTRACT: With the development of society, Gen Z users have gradually become the main users of kitchens who want more than excellent functions, such as fashionable appearance and use-friendly experience. At present, most range hoods on the market are bulky and industrial style without emotional appeal, unfit to the purchase preference of users in Gen Z. The original intention when designing this product is to break the traditional industrial style and enhance the human interaction experience.
CHALLENGE: The challenge in the design process: balancing functions and aesthetic characteristics while integrating diverse features and ensuring that each feature is maximized. The overall shape of the wine cup ensures the reasonable arrangement of various functions and hides the functional modules to smooth and complete the visual effect, so as to integrate into the diversified modern decoration atmosphere.
