Home Appliances

Elevating everyday living through design.

Design for home appliances is not just about how products look.

It is about experience, safety, and long-term everyday use.

At Formeta Design, we design home appliances that seamlessly integrate form, function, and innovation. Our goal is to create products that feel intuitive in daily life, support safety and comfort, and quietly elevate the home environment.

Designing for real homes and real routines

Home appliances are used every day, often without conscious thought.

Great design makes these interactions effortless, safe, and reassuring over time.

Our approach focuses on:

  • Intuitive interactions that feel natural from first use
  • Safety solutions integrated seamlessly into form and function
  • Durable design decisions that support long product lifecycles
  • Harmonizing technology, mechanics, and aesthetics

By combining user-centered thinking with engineering precision, we design appliances that people trust, rely on, and live with.

What we do in Home Appliances

We support appliance manufacturers and home technology brands across a wide range of product challenges, including:

  • Kitchen & Countertop Appliance Design

From built-in systems to compact everyday appliances.

  • User-Centered Interaction & Safety Design

Designing interfaces and mechanisms that protect users without adding complexity.

  • Ergonomic & Form Language Development

Creating coherent design languages aligned with brand and usability.

  • CMF Strategy & Design for Manufacturability

Material and finish strategies optimized for production and long-term use.

  • Smart Connectivity & Interface Systems

Integrating digital control and smart features into physical products.

  • Thermal & Mechanical Integration Strategies

Thoughtful engineering coordination for heat, airflow, and mechanical performance.

SafeLock built-in oven concept designed by Formeta Design with child safety lock system

Featured Home Appliances Case

SAFELOCK

A Child-Proof Oven Concept with Built-in Safety Mechanism

Status: Ready for Production

SafeLock reimagines the built-in oven through the lens of family safety.

The concept introduces a rotating handle and integrated locking system that prevents accidental opening at child height while maintaining a clean, seamless aesthetic.

Formeta Design developed SafeLock from early concept sketches through final production detailing.

The result is a safety-focused solution that blends into the kitchen environment while actively protecting its users.

SafeLock demonstrates how safety-driven innovation can be integrated invisibly into everyday home products.
