VALENTIN – FOOD GARBAGE RECYCLER Product Design Client: Valentin Project Team: Andrej Kregar, Tomaž Perme WHEN INNOVATION BECOMES PART OF DAILY LIFE We designed the outer shell and user interface for a revolutionary kitchen appliance, the Food Garbage Recycler, a device that introduces a completely new approach to organic waste processing. Although technologically advanced, the Food Garbage Recycler operates with a simplicity that feels familiar and intuitive, making it easy to integrate into everyday routines. From the beginning our goal was to create a product that fits naturally into the flow of the kitchen. Therefore, the overall design is soft, calm, and non-intrusive. The compact cuboid form, with its rounded edges and matte surfaces, avoids the harshness often associated with technical appliances. Instead, it expresses a quiet presence and a sense of ease which supports the idea that advanced technology can still feel warm and approachable. This carefully created softness reinforces the core philosophy behind the Food Garbage Recycler: high performance with minimal friction for the user. While hidden beneath the sink, the device performs a complex set of tasks that traditionally require multiple steps. It separates food, water, and oil, reduces the total volume of kitchen waste by up to 85%, removes unpleasant odors, and produces natural fertilizer in only 24 hours. Because these functions operate automatically, users experience the benefits without interruption of their daily habits. In essence, the Food Garbage Recycler is not just a kitchen appliance. It is a seamless extension of the kitchen environment. An elegant, intelligent tool that makes sustainable living effortless. Through thoughtful design and intuitive interaction, it demonstrates how innovation can become a natural part of everyday life.

Intelligent Cranium Helmet
INTELLIGENT CRANIUM HELMET Product Design Project Year: 2020 Project Team: Andrej Kregar and Damir Černec Client: Intelligent Cranium Helmets Award: BIG SEE Product Design Award 2022 Designing Beyond Standards Our work was primarily focused on the design and development of the product. From the very beginning, we aimed to integrate all the features required for ECE 22.05 certification. At the same time, we wanted to push the standards of helmet design to a higher level. Because of this, we approached every phase with a strong emphasis on precision, innovation, and safety. A Complex Process with Many Details Designing a helmet is a highly complex process. Despite its small size, the fit must be absolutely precise and, in the event of impact, extremely effective. Therefore, in the early stages, we concentrated on specific details, such as the carbon shell structure and the selection of soft materials and fabrics for both the outer and inner segments. Moreover, through close collaboration with the engineer, we examined key parameters. These included the thickness of the shell, the construction of the frame, and the choice of plastics and heat-resistant, non-flammable materials. By refining the ergonomics and optimizing smooth surfaces to reduce drag, we gradually shaped the helmet’s distinctive form. As a result, the product reflects both technical accuracy and aesthetic clarity. Merging Ergonomics with Aesthetic Perfection With today’s high expectations for safety and design, our goal was to merge ergonomics with aesthetic perfection. Early in the development process, we identified one of the prevailing trends: a design language that conveys depth and dimensionality. For this reason, the helmet’s final form features a refined 3D pattern. Consequently, the structure expresses not only elegance, but also strength and durability—qualities every rider values. Smart Features That Elevate the Experience The smart helmet integrates a wide range of practical and appealing features. At the front and rear, two high-resolution 4K cameras enable continuous 360-degree monitoring and recording. In addition, an advanced visor with a photochromic lens expands the rider’s field of vision. The helmet is made from premium materials—carbon fiber, Kevlar, and high-grade fiberglass—which further reduce drag while maintaining a sophisticated look. At the rear of the shell, a brake-light indicator with an integrated accelerometer increases road safety. This section also contains the motherboard with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a collection of sensors. Moreover, special ventilation openings ensure comfort even on the hottest days. Because of this, the helmet is suitable for highway use in all weather conditions. Engineered for Real-World Riding Thanks to a six-hour battery life and convenient recharging, the helmet is ideal for long-distance rides. Furthermore, we enhanced visibility with additional lighting elements, ensuring that the rider remains clearly seen. This modern, precisely engineered helmet—with carefully considered ergonomics and detailing—is a premium choice for every motorcycle enthusiast. It combines luxury, technical precision, and a contemporary appearance. Above all, it is built to support the rider, improve safety, and elevate the overall riding experience. A Fusion of Expertise and Innovation In developing this product, we wanted to channel our extensive industrial-design knowledge into something new and exciting. The smart helmet offered the perfect opportunity. Consequently, we were able to merge expertise with innovation and create a product that is both practical and safe, while also meeting the performance expectations of today’s riders.

Hanging Bed
HANGING BED Product Design Project Year: 2022 Project Team: Andrej Kregar and Damir Černec Refined Design for Modern Living Designing this unique suspended bed required equal attention to aesthetics, usability, and everyday comfort. From the beginning, we wanted to create a solution that would enhance the way people experience and use their living space. Therefore, we focused on both beauty and practicality. Because modern homes often demand flexibility, the suspended bed had to adapt to different activities throughout the day. It needed to feel elegant when visible, yet disappear effortlessly when more space was required. To achieve this balance, we invested considerable effort into developing reliable and intuitive mechanisms. As a result, the bed assembles easily, operates smoothly, and supports efficient production. Every technical detail—from the lifting motors to the frame construction—was selected with safety, precision, and durability in mind. In addition, the suspended bed rises to the ceiling at the touch of a button, creating valuable floor space within seconds. A Flexible Solution for Dynamic Interiors When retracted, the suspended bed becomes a discreet architectural feature. Its minimalist form blends into the ceiling, which makes the room feel more open and orderly. However, when lowered, it reveals its full presence. The bed becomes an elegant focal point, adding warmth and character to the interior. This dual nature was essential to our concept, since we wanted a design that supports both functionality and expression. Furthermore, the suspended bed reflects a thoughtful approach to modern living. Lightweight materials and optimized proportions improve usability, while intuitive controls simplify daily routines. Consequently, the bed allows users to transform a bedroom into a workspace, a living room, or a social area with minimal effort. It encourages flexibility without sacrificing comfort. Ultimately, the suspended bed represents a harmonious blend of refined design, engineering clarity, and spatial efficiency. It is created for people who value elegance, comfort, and intelligent use of space—without compromise.

Paintcam
PAINTCAM Product Design CLIENT: PaintCam WHEN SAFETY AND DESIGN MEET For Paintcam, a company that developed an innovative security system, we created a complete product design. The system features synchronous face recognition, app- and AI-based operation, night vision, and even paintball deterrence. The design relies on clear, minimalist geometry, with soft oval shapes that flow seamlessly into one another. The lower section, which supports the head and enables rotation, transitions smoothly into the upper part, allowing for tilting. A white finish emphasizes the product’s modern character and reinforces the unity of its form, while the black front panel, housing the camera, serves as the “eye” of the device, the element that sees everything. In developing the design, we considered the fact that this product is always present in the home environment, visible even when not actively in use. Because residents remain in constant visual contact with it, the goal was to ensure it did not dominate the space. Rather than appearing intrusive, it functions as an aesthetic addition, supporting security without disrupting daily life.
