When innovation becomes part of everyday life
We designed the outer shell and user interface for a revolutionary kitchen appliance. The Food Garbage Recycler (FGR), which brings a new approach to organic waste processing. Although technologically advanced, the device operates with a simplicity that feels familiar and intuitive.
Our design fits into the flow of the kitchen – soft, calm, and non-intrusive. The compact cuboid form, with its rounded edges and matte surfaces, avoids sharpness often seen in technical appliances. Instead, it expresses quiet presence and ease.
This visual softness supports the core idea of the product: high performance with low friction. Installed beneath the sink, FGR separates food, water and oil, reduces the volume of waste by 85%, removes odor, and produces natural fertilizer in just 24 hours – all while requiring minimal user effort.
The design stems from the belief that even a cutting-edge appliance should not interrupt daily life, but support it gracefully. FGR is not about making a statement – it’s about making a difference.
