ABOUT

CONCEPT
SAFELOCK is a built-in oven concept by Formeta Design, developed around the relationship between cooking, access and visibility. The project brings door interaction and control into the overall product form.

DESIGN APPROACH
A rotating handle and proposed locking system define the door interaction. The concept also investigates electrochromic glass to change the visibility of the oven interior, together with a mobile connection for monitoring.

The physical handle, front interface and proposed connected experience are considered together, allowing the industrial design and interaction design to inform each other.

OUTCOME
SAFELOCK presents an integrated direction for a kitchen appliance and its controls. The features shown are design proposals, rather than certified safety functions or specifications for a released oven.
