Jaw 吹風機| Product Design

Jaw
Jaw的定位為一給有較專業、全面及美髮需求族群的高端吹風機。
Jaw is a high-end hairdryer catering to a professional, comprehensive, and hair-conscious clientele. 
除了本身極具特色的造型及雙吹嘴設計外,為滿足複雜需求而整合了多段數風種及多種模式。
可開關的副吹嘴持續吹出負離子和奈米水離子讓使用者的體驗更上一層樓。

In addition to its distinctive design and dual nozzle configuration, it integrates multiple airflow settings and modes to meet diverse needs. The detachable secondary nozzle can continuously emit negative ions and nano water ions, enhancing the user experience to the next level.

為什麼雙吹嘴需要個別控制?
市面上現存同樣有雙吹嘴的吹風機大多無法自由控制副吹嘴的作用與否,然而雙吹嘴分散風量和平衡溫度的特性有時反成為阻力(如需做造型或要求快乾時),我透過簡單的板機和氣閥機構設計達到對雙吹嘴的個別控制,使操作更有彈性。

Why do "dual nozzles" needs separate control?
Most hairdryers with dual nozzles currently available on the market do not allow for independent control of the secondary nozzle's function. However, the dual nozzle configuration, which disperses airflow and balances temperature, can sometimes become a hindrance, particularly when styling or seeking quick drying. To address this, I have incorporated a simple plate and valve mechanism design, enabling individual control of the dual nozzles and providing greater flexibility during operation.
為什麼副吹嘴要位於下方?
為了使風向更精準的導向目標—市面上雙吹嘴的兩道風是平行發出的,造成作用位置不一,具特色的「顎」和造型流線便是為引導風指向同一目的地,並利用分色暗示產品的功能性。

Why is the secondary nozzle positioned at the bottom?
In order to achieve more precise airflow direction towards the target, the dual nozzles on the market emit two streams of air in parallel, resulting in different impact points. The unique "jaw" design and streamlined aesthetics are intended to guide the airflow towards the same destination, while utilizing color variations to indicate the product's functionality.

Behind The Design
這個設計在初期其實並不順利,卡在因個人喜好而產生的盲點上,從被自己第一個想法綁住,後續提出的提案也好幾次被老師提醒,並未達到我所希望創造價值的目的,只是在解決自己創造的問題。後來只保留了對雙吹嘴吹風機的想法,並在深入研究和取捨後才找到設計施力的方向,這才有了這次的雙吹嘴吹風機設計—Jaw。

This design initially faced challenges as it got caught up in personal preferences and blind spots. I was too attached to my initial idea, and subsequent proposals were repeatedly pointed out by my teachers as not achieving the desired goal of creating value. It was only when I focused on the concept of a hairdryer with dual nozzles and conducted in-depth research and careful consideration that I found the direction for the design. This led to the creation of the Jaw, a hairdryer with dual nozzles.
