„Create two water heater with recyclable material but the heating technology has to stay the same.“
Starting product was a water heater from the company Cloer.
We developed PUSH & PULL. Were the components from e.g. glass and plastics are completely separable and the technology was reduced in different ways.
For PUSH we deleted the ON Button by integrating the ON mechanism into the lip. The heating process starts by pushing down the lid and opens automatically after heating.
PULL has an easy way to fill and serve water because of free rotatable lid. Also it is possible to remove the whole lid for an easy cleaning.
The use of glass for PUSH and metal for PULL for the water tank allows a toxin-free heating of the water. An important advantage is the double wall of the body, through the insulation the cooking process is ensured, because less heat is discharged. This also can keep the heat in the water heater, and thus the duration and the power consumption for heating the water can be reduced.
