About Sofa Cordless Mini Vacuum Cleaner
Sofa is a cordless vacuum cleaner standing out with its stylish sturdy look combined with a 115Watt digital motor, 10.8 V Lithium ion battery, 25 min continuous runtime, 200 ml dust pick up capacity, and Hepa plus metal filter combination. While the chamber can be cleaned with a single touch, thanks to the combination of HEPA and metal filter inside, no dust particles can escape. Thanks to the adjustable built-in brush on the sweeping tip, it is possible to vacuum places such as sofas and tabletop.
Yasemin Ulukan's Sofa Cordless Mini Vacuum Cleaner represents a distinguished achievement in contemporary home appliance design, demonstrating how functional domestic objects may attain the visual sophistication traditionally associated with premium consumer electronics and lifestyle accessories. The work participates in a broader design movement that seeks to elevate everyday cleaning implements from hidden utilitarian tools to objects worthy of display, reflecting shifting contemporary attitudes toward domestic maintenance as an expression of care rather than mere necessity. The designer's compositional strategy employs a tripartite material hierarchy, from the commanding metallic upper housing through the revealing transparent collection chamber to the grounded brush mechanism, establishing a visual narrative of technological process that invites user understanding and engagement. Chromatic restraint characterizes the palette, with warm silver and cool charcoal establishing professional authority while the carefully positioned red accent introduces energy and draws attention to the functional interface where device meets surface. The transparent dust collection chamber represents a significant design decision, transforming what might otherwise be hidden mechanical function into visible technological theater, allowing users to witness the appliance's effectiveness while also facilitating practical maintenance awareness. Technical execution demonstrates refined attention to transition zones where disparate materials meet, achieving seamless visual flow despite the inherent challenges of integrating metal, polymer, and rubber components. The ergonomic considerations evident in the ribbed grip zone and balanced proportions suggest careful attention to the embodied experience of use, acknowledging that successful appliance design must satisfy both visual and haptic requirements. One might contemplate how this design transforms the quotidian act of cleaning into an experience of technological partnership.

- Production Technology
- All of the non transparent plastic parts of the sofa are made with recycled material. However, since all the parts are designed to be covered with hot foil from the beginning, the surfaces do not have the defects created by the recycled material. Thus, it is possible to obtain a nature-friendly, robust and high end look.
- Design Challenge
- Our goal was to create a compact product which can be used in daily routine and also to be able to have the biggest dust pick up volume in the market. We had to fit a high efficient 115Watt Bldc motor and 3 batteries with lots of cables and PCB and noise cancellation sponges and connectors in a limited space. Also we had to design every surface very carefully to be able to have the metallic look with hot foil application because the parts need to have draft angles for injection molding technology but, the surfaces should be flat for hot foil process. To be able to design parts for both processes without compromising the outlook and concept design was one of the hardest part of the overall design activity.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2020 and launched in July 2021 in Turkey
- Operation Flow
- Sofa, which is standing out with its 200 ml dust collection volume, provides 25 minutes of continuous runtime. While the chamber can be cleaned with a single touch, thanks to the combination of hepa and metal filter inside, no dust particles can escape . Thanks to the adjustable built-in brush on the sweeping tip, it is possible to vacuum places such as sofas and tables effectively.
- Inspiration
- Sofa was designed to meet the customer needs in the growing cordless mini vacuum cleaner market; a compact mini cleaner with a big dust capacity and long runtime. Sofa is designed with geometric lines and elegant details . Such as hot foil layered parts and chrome look lines gives the product a more distinguished and sturdy look at affordable cost. The texture on the handle area gives a smooth feeling that you always want to hold in your hand. We wanted to create a product that you will always want to keep on the counter when it is placed on the charging unit.
