Intro
Pandemeal was developed as a response to changing home routines during the pandemic, when cooking, food preparation, and daily domestic habits became more central to everyday life.
The project explored how a kitchen product could combine multiple functions in a compact and useful way, supporting people who were spending more time cooking at home.
The concept brought together a precision scale, cooker, and blender into one integrated product experience.
Instead of designing another single-function kitchen appliance, the goal was to create a more adaptable tool for changing food habits, smaller spaces, and everyday convenience.
