The document summarizes a student project to design a new vacuum cleaner concept. A team of 4 students led by Professor Divyang Patel investigated how vacuum cleaners could be designed to better facilitate compact storage in modern homes without losing efficiency. Through user research, the team sought to understand storage needs and define requirements. They then developed a concept proposal to address the identified needs and serve as inspiration for innovating existing vacuum cleaner designs.

INTRODUCTION Vacuum cleaners are established electrical household products with the main function of cleaning the home with the use of suction to collect dirt and dust. Today's market offers a spectrum of different models and solutions. In conjunction with urbanisation and a growing population, new demands are set regarding compact living solutions and home products that function in everyday life. WHY DID WE CHOOSE THIS TOPIC? The purpose of this project was to develop a concept proposal for a new vacuum cleaner that adapts into a modern home by facilitating storage, by addressing the needs of the end user. The question to be answered in this project was: How can a vacuum cleaner be designed and adapted to facilitate compact and easy storage for the user in a modern home, without compromising its current efficiency? HOW IT SOLVES THE PROBLEM Firstly, the project investigated the user’s needs of a vacuum cleaner in its in-use-lifecycle through a human-centred design approach. The research included finding and defining the needs and requirements end-users have on their households’ vacuum cleaner. Secondly, the project included the development of a concept proposal to answer the user’s needs and serve as an inspiration to further develop the current vacuum cleaners on the market, making the products address new end-user’s needs discovered. Thirdly, the project reflected on how the human-centred design methodology can lead to a greater height of innovation in the product development field.
