Everyday — Electric Kettle

Master’s project — NTNU Industrial Design

Everyday is an electric kettle developed as a study of the everyday object. The aim was to create a product with a clear character without demanding unnecessary attention in the home.

The project was based on Super Normal, a concept developed by Jasper Morrison and Naoto Fukasawa.
