Home appliances combine physical handling, controls and the space around them. We develop product form and interaction with attention to installation, everyday routines and technical constraints.
Home Appliances
Product form and controls within everyday routines.
Designing for real homes and real routines
A kitchen appliance is experienced through repeated actions: selecting a setting, opening a door, reaching a control or cleaning a surface. We develop the product around those moments and its place within the home.
Proportions, finishes, interfaces and installation requirements develop together. Reviews with technical teams help connect the intended appearance with component, thermal and assembly constraints.
What we do in Home Appliances
- Kitchen and built-in appliance design.
- Controls, displays and digital interfaces.
- Ergonomics and product family development.
- Colour, material and finish direction.
- Coordination around thermal and mechanical requirements.
- Prototype review and manufacturing preparation.
Featured Home Appliances Case
SAFELOCK
An Oven Concept Exploring Door Access and Control
Concept study
SAFELOCK is a built-in oven concept developed by Formeta Design around door interaction and control. The proposal investigates a rotating handle and locking system as part of the overall product form.
The concept also explores electrochromic glass, allowing the visibility of the oven interior to change, and a mobile connection for monitoring. The front interface and physical handle are considered together rather than as separate additions.
SAFELOCK uses these ideas to examine a different relationship between cooking, access and visibility. Its features are concept proposals and have not been presented here as certified safety functions.
Selected Home Appliance Projects
AEC changes the position of controls on an angled cooker hood. BUTTERFLY explores burner and support layout on a gas hob. BEST UX translates knob rotation into a touchscreen interaction. SAFELOCK explores a future oven concept.
Why Formeta for Home Appliances?
Our appliance portfolio connects physical design with embedded interaction. Cooker hoods, gas hobs and oven interfaces each require a different balance of visibility, reach, material character and control.
