Fresh air – invisible and user-friendly design
The AirMaster project aimed to improve the air quality in residential areas by developing a compact air purifier. The challenge was to design a device that was both aesthetically pleasing and highly functional, while also being easy to use. The design team at Design People took a user-centred approach in developing the AirMaster. They conducted extensive research on user needs and preferences and analyzed market trends to differentiate their product. The final design solution was a compact, circular air purifier with a minimalist design and intuitive touch controls.
How to succeed in a market where clients want the performance of your product, but dislike the visual impact of an appliance. Airmaster teamed up with design-people to create a product line based on innovative, energy-efficient ventilation concepts.
Our Airmaster designs translate the challenging market requirements. The appliances provide clean and fresh air where it is needed – in designs that are clean and unobtrusive, with a limited visual impact on architecture and interior. Although the design is discreet and long lasting it has a strong design DNA, that helps Airmaster to stand out in the market.
The latest addition to the Airmaster product family is the AM 1200 – a ventilation wall. Here, we came up with an innovative concept for a ventilation system specifically designed to meet new standards for classroom ventilation. Not only does the new system integrate well in classrooms due to a customizable modular design – it also offers an option for noise cancelling surface materials that improve classroom acoustics. A valuable benefit for the learning environment!
The Airlinq interaction panel has received two design awards for its benchmarking design and ease of use. We involved female teachers as benchmark users when we tested the early interaction design concepts for the touch panel.
