An innovative integrated razor blade cleaner and Faucet. Developed to reduce water consumption by 99% over a standard tap and prolong the life of razor blades by up to 4 times.
Lozio7 approached Mouse to work with them to develop their Razor blade cleaner concept from Technology Readiness Level 3 to TRL 7. Or in plain language, from proof of concept into a functional saleable product. Lozio7 had already gained a patent for the technology and had built a working prototype. Working with mouse enabled them to take the project to the next step, developing it into a real-world product.
Concept design, 3D CAD Modelling alongside visualisations. Prototype generation and testing.
Working in conjunction with Lozio7, we developed a working concept into a stylish high end home furnishing. The razor blade cleaner was constructed using a modular design where the cleaner could either be used as a stand-alone item or combined with a faucet.
Through a rigorous examination of the patent, we gained a comprehensive understanding of its finer workings, enabling us to construct a detailed 3D spatial model. By aligning this with standard components and ensuring compliance with building regulations, we laid a foundation for the development of user-centric concepts.
The largest challenge revolved around facilitating natural user interaction with a product that no one had interacted with before. To address this obstacle, we explored various industrial design concepts that render the product user-friendly, alongside the exploration of a range of self-explanatory iconography.
Finally crafted a fully functional prototype for on-site installation in the correct environment for user and market testing.
