About ⇣

New product design competition recently organised by Italian company Anodica and released on the site Desall.com invites you to envision the oven of the future, suggesting new functional and aesthetic solutions related to the main components of the oven’s front interface: handle, knobs and profiles.

Anodica invites you to envision the future domestic oven, anticipating the new aesthetic trends and the styles we are going to expect for this product typology in 5/10 years from now, focusing your attention on the main components of the front, that is handle, knobs and profiles, if any - all these represent the most characterising elements of the product aesthetics and functions.

Guidelines:

This competition aims at reinterpreting the design of the future domestic oven in terms of style and aesthetics, envisioning how it will look like in 2025-2030, exploring new aesthetic codes, functionalities, control modes and user interaction, keeping into consideration the commitment of the brand towards eco-compatibility themes.

In addition to the aesthetics of the products, you are invited to focus your attention on how the user interacts with the elements of the oven, exploring new solutions and envisioning innovative scenarios.

A characterising element of the Anodica products, as well as a key factor that distinguishes the brand, is the selection of the materials employed in the components and in the aesthetic details. In particular, core-competence of Anodica is the use of aluminium. In addition to this, you may suggest the use of other materials, such as plastics and glass inserts. No other materials are allowed.

The Anodica logo shall be visible on the components you suggest and might be realised in various modalities at your discretion, for ex. silk-screen printing, laser engraving, etc.

The oven you suggest shall be designed for domestic use. Your proposal shall comply with the Anodica values, always focused both on the aesthetic innovation where it really stands out for the attention to details and finishes and on the exploration of new functionalities.
