디자인 씽킹 방법론 융합 정수기 제품디자인 개발에 관한 연구

Recently, a water purifier in the domestic market has received a lot of attention due to the growing interest in health and the surge in tap water. Experts predict that the water treatment equipment market will grow further as the largest electronics company enters the market. Based on this background, this study began with cooperation with small enterprises seeking to shift their business models from B2B to B2C. Therefore, this product design study aims to develop a water clean machine product design for P company. To the design study, the researchers developed the water filtration design through the four stages of the double diamond model by combining the design thinking methodology. The results and contents of this paper are as follows. First, Based on the VOC, market research and user observations, and interviews were worked. Second, market research, user observation, and interview results were analyzed through the AEIOU(Activities, Environment, Interaction, Object, Users) frame. The brainstorming results showed that putting something on top of the water product and two intake outlets were selected as user problems. Third, based on this, the designer has set up a concept such as placing the product PUI at the top and focusing on the Clean keyword in form for problem solving. The concept was visualized through an idea sketch and materialized in 3D rendering. The final draft was selected through expert evaluation, and the final 3D rendering was additionally performed after reviewing the installation of the selected draft. Finally, I hope that these findings will be provided as basic data and DB to researchers who design and study related products in the future.
