Desaffo de Dissènh: Having conducted research to innovate refrigerator features in India, we encountered a complex challenge deeply rooted in profound cultural and dietary diversity. The habits we analyzed revealed drastically varied storage needs. Diverse behavioral patterns had to be decoded to arrive at insights relevant to the entire spectrum. Crucially, the Indian consumer's reliance on fresh produce highlighted a strict requirement for an enlarged, dedicated vegetable zone with freshness prolonged. Ultimately, our greatest hurdle was having these localized insights synthesized into adaptable cooling and freshness features successfully tailored to the everyday rhythms of the diverse Indian kitchen.
Recèrca: To ensure the product's success, we conducted extensive consumer research which involved ethnographic research and subsequent heuristic evaluation. This allowed us to understand the consumer behavior pattern and identify key consumer needs specific to the target audience and translate them into innovative design solutions stepping up the freshness retention of food items. We have also identified and addressed several consumer concerns, specifically regarding cooling loss during frequent door openings. In the Indian market, the vegetable zone is the most frequently accessed part of the refrigerator. By providing a dedicated compartment for this section, we can effectively prevent air loss within the main refrigerator body.
Inspiracion: Modern lifestyles and India's predominantly vegetarian population have led to a growing demand for refrigerators with ample storage space for fresh produce. Whirlpool Protton addresses this need by offering a unique three-door format with a dedicated compartment for fruits and vegetables.
Key consumer needs were identified and translated into innovative design solutions such as a large vegetable drawer and freshness features like Active Deo, Microblock and Freshpad. While Active Deo feature reduces food odor, Freshpad improves air circulation in the Vegetable compartment which helps in retaining the freshness of stored items.
