Challenges
The central challenge was to transcend the conventional aesthetic and functional limitations of sodamakers, achieving a harmonious integration of form and function through industrial design.
Research & Insights
Through user research, we discovered that while consumers value the ability to craft delicious sparkling water, their priorities extend beyond functionality. They seek convenience, aesthetic appeal, and an overall comfortable experience. Additionally, the capacity to prepare multiple servings for sharing emerged as a critical need.
Solution
We reimagined the My Sodapop Soda Maker’s design by recombining fundamental geometric elements through methods like Boolean operations (direct geometric merging without transitional surfaces). The resulting clean, flowing lines create a distinctive, visually striking silhouette while maintaining practicality. By embedding the water dispensing and carbonation zones within the geometric structure, we preserved the product’s visual unity while enhancing safety and hygiene through reduced exposed components.
Outcomes & Impact
The My Sodapop Soda Maker combines robust functionality with a minimalist, fluid design, refined details, and meticulous safety considerations to deliver a stress-free user experience. Its bold, refined aesthetic has not only elevated the product’s market appeal but also strengthened the brand’s identity, positioning it as a leader in both design innovation and user-centric functionality.
