Natural Choice Design Team:
Ion® Drinking Water Appliance
Design Team: Cesaroni Design & Natural Choice
Natural Choice and Cesaroni Design redefined conventional freestanding water coolers with the introduction of this new appliance. The product design process focused on developing a compact appliance for office or home use.
Design exploration began with concept color renderings to assist the design team in evaluating forms, color options and product graphics. The design direction was narrowed down to one distinctive form with three color selections.
The new product is constructed of an injection molded ABS enclosure with an internal steel frame. The appliance connects directly into a tap water supply. This design element eliminates the need to continually replace a reservoir.
The product automatically dispenses filtered drinking water either cold, sparkling (carbonated) or hot. The product features two control panels both ergonomically placed for easy viewing. The touch panel is rear-screened graphics on polycarbonate. The filter is easily accessible by opening the front access door.
The new product was recognized with an EID Silver award from Appliance Design Magazine for the new appliance design.
