Ferre Dual built-in oven with advanced UI designed by Formeta Design

DUAL

Angled Cooker Hood Industrial Design

DUAL is an angled cooker hood developed with Ferre. Formeta Design divided the sloping face into two sections so the control panel sits within the user’s line of sight.

Design Approach

Glass at the front and metal toward the rear distinguish the surfaces, while geometric texture on the upper area gives the hood a more domestic appearance. The material arrangement and the control position follow the same architectural split.

The project uses the body of the appliance to organise interaction. Its defining feature is the relationship between those two planes, rather than an added control panel applied to a conventional slope.

Carryfix portable handle designed by Formeta Design for carrying heavy bags and gloceries

CARRYFIX

Portable Shopping Bag Handle Design

CARRYFIX is a portable handle developed by Formeta Design for carrying several shopping bags together. The design responds to the pressure of thin bag handles against the hand and the difficulty of managing separate loads.

Year

Year-2021

Design Approach

A rotating lock gathers the handles into one grip and allows bags to be inserted or removed. The compact form was developed around that movement, keeping the mechanism part of a small object that can travel with the user.

The project began with an everyday handling problem and turned it into a focused product. CARRYFIX is part of Formeta’s own product work.

etna

Year

Year-2019

Design Approach

A double-layer top cover separates the electronic and plumbing areas, addressing water exposure as a design consideration. The housing also follows Etna’s product family while giving the unit a compact, distinct form.

The project connects enclosure design with the conditions around the equipment. Rather than treating appearance separately, the form responds to component organisation, access and the unit’s position within a wider system.

Design Approach

Blue identifies the control and monitoring unit, while red is used for alarm and fire-related functions. Sculpted surfaces and gloss plastic give the panel a recognisable appearance alongside the equipment it controls.

The design uses the enclosure, screen and colour together to organise the product family. This makes the differences between units visible without relying on identical housings and small labels alone.

Ferre AEC built-in oven concept designed by Formeta Design with angled edge control panel

Year-2020

Design Approach

Rounded glass edges follow the form of the enclosure. Silk-screened graphics and push buttons organise the control area, while two LED lights illuminate the cooking surface below.

The design starts with a specific interaction problem and uses the exterior architecture to respond to it. The control position becomes part of the product’s appearance as well as its use.

Year

Year-2016

Design Approach

An optional antenna created a particular enclosure challenge. The outer shell was made modular to accommodate the antenna and different ceiling conditions while keeping the product family visually consistent.

The result is a compact supporting device designed around installation and system integration. Its role is less visible than the wearable tags, but its housing still needs to respond to the architecture in which it is placed.

Year-2018

Design Approach

A replaceable membrane on the top surface allows the presentation of the device to change without redesigning the entire housing. The exterior remains simple so the tag can attach to different types of equipment and be identified or removed when required.

The project treats customisation as part of the product architecture. A common enclosure supports different applications while retaining a consistent design across the system.
