background
The project realized for Friulinox is born from the need of the company to express a more professional feeling trough their most performing range and to boost the perceived quality of their products.
In order to reach this objective, our studio has developed the design process on three main themes: the redesign of the frontal ventilation grid, the handle repositioning and the graphic interface restyling.
Therefore the handle has been emphasised and frontally positioned not only to simplify the use of the blast-chiller and to easily place it in the kitchen but especially to espress a more professional feeling compared to the previous product that had led the company to a more domestic feeling.
The traditional lines of the grid have been restyled and enriched with a graphic sign that recalls the O of the company’s logo, increasing Friulinox brand awareness.
Finally the redesign process of the graphic interface has involved not only the interaction with the product (thanks to the new positioning into the handle), but also the choice of new colours and a higher intuitiveness and simplicity of use trough the new programming of some functions.
