04 / Testing

Testing capacity and simplifying the interface.

Physical studies establish container volumes and airflow needs. Research into existing use and care systems leads to an alphabetical chart that replaces produce images, icons, and arrows with direct water and ventilation guidance.

05 / Refined Family

One architecture across five formats.

The longer format extends the system across the refrigerator while preserving its structure and interface.
