Designing for a smart kitchen was a challenging topic as we wanted to include tech to augment human centric features. To do that, we had to first define what a modern kitchen was, and the devices that could co-exist in this environment. Understanding the users and designing for habit rather than tech, gave us a new perspective on what the jar should look, feel and interact.. STOK also takes into consideration extreme attention to detail in terms of ergonomics, textures, weight and of course technological features that help users manage inventory in their kitchen.
STOK is not just made smart by adding valuable technology to it, but we pushed our boundaries to rethink the whole architecture of the conventional, boring looking kitchen jars.
The basic idea of a jar is to store, and conveniently reach out for the ingredients in it. So, we designed the whole typology of the jar such that the ingredients are easily accessible and reachable. The inner walls of the container have been engineered with a defined thickness, that ensures a perfect flow when an ingredient is poured in/out.
The texture of the inner wall prevents the ingredient from sticking to the base. It’s very common for Turmeric, Cinnamon and Sugar among others to leave residue which need to be dabbed out of the container. This engineered gloss texture, results in not having a tough time while cleaning out the jars.
