Zuerst: Industrial design case study
IUOVA'S Process
Problem - Statement
"The water heater category is largely driven by conventional designs that prioritize function over experience. Most storage geysers lack intuitive control, visual refinement, and seamless integration into modern bathrooms. Bulky forms, visible parting lines, and mechanical interfaces disrupt the overall aesthetic, making them feel like purely utilitarian add-ons rather than considered lifestyle products."
Non-intuitive temperature control systems
Visually heavy appliances that clash with bathroom interiors
Lack of smart integration or feedback
