Client: Philips Design
This concept proposal for a new steam iron served to inform and inspire a new line of steam generating irons by Philips Design. Next to an innovative form evoking a sense of utter simplicity, the iron embeds some unique interaction features. Steam is generated not by a button but can be carefully controlled by rotating the handle much like a motorcycle throttle. Temperature is set by a mousewheel which lights up to indicate the current temperature, and informs the user when it is not in the correct position. Another feature are the extending legs which lift up the iron to prevent burning or to hook into the base station. The base contains a touch screen to quickly toggle between your favorite settings.
