WATERPIK

Misting Shower Massage

The tri-lobe shape of the Misting Massage Showerhead is designed to accomodate the shapes of seven SPA-like shower experiences, from a wide shoulder-to-shoulder spray, to bubbly champagne and warm mist. The control knobs are placed outside of the water stream, so one does not have to reach into the spray to change settings. This design innovation lead to the design of a new mechanism. For user needs research, & market opportunity assessment, Machineart collaborated with Innovation Focus.

WATERPIK

The SenSonic high frequency automatic toothbrush is designed to express "high performance" that "delights" the user - feels good to hold, feels good after use, and feels good to own.

Flexible Shower Massage

Adults shower, kids shower, and so does every size in between. The Flexible Shower Massage design allows people to adjust the height and angle of the shower head to suit them. Inside the corrugated vinyl hose is a spine made of acetal beads that adjusts readily, yet stays in place without drooping. Machineart’s design updated an existing shower head engine with a new adjustment ring and was adapted to the flex hose to make a low cost platform extension.

Designed to stand out on retailers' shelves, the iPalm was the first SD-card compatible digital camera when introduced in 2001.

The exaggerated aluminum lens surround recalls traditional film cameras, while the unconventional shape says 'digital'.

FUJITSU

Stratos Game Player

Machineart’s design of the Stratos is a concept intended to test the viability of Fujitsu’s desired entry into more consumer product categories in the Japanese market. A top level PC, mainframe, and IT services brand, Fujitsu determined it needed to diversify its offerings in order to grow. The Stratos concept tested unusual shape compositions to distinguish Fujitsu’s from Sony’s offerings and give it a techno-fantasy feel to appeal to young males who typically make up the game market.
