Regulating the air ventilation for the Scan 68 burning stove was found to be difficult for users to manage correctly. By redesigning the ventilation system of the product, we were able to combine the two former handles for the primary and secondary air valves, respectively, into one handle that controlled both valves.
Additionally, we implemented a slow-winding motor calculated to close the two valves gradually in correspondence with sustainable use of the burning stove. This would allow the user to only have to pull the handle a single time when igniting the stove, instead of checking up on the ventilation continuously as required by the orignial design. The redesign thereby increases both sustainability and intuitiveness in the use of the Scan 68 burning stove.
The solution was developed using a user-centered and iterative design approach with continuous testing and prototyping.
