Carbinator for Gavefabrikken

The design process of a soda machine. Normally, I start with form, letting the design spring from a detail, a material or a particular expression. When I designed this carbonator, however, I relied on the principle that also guided my grandfather and his generation of modernists: form follows function. A machine, a bottle – instant sparkling water. I aimed for a minimalist design expression with clean, sleek lines and features that stand out just enough to guide the hand to the right function. Our life is full of devices and gadgets with sounds and flashing lights. Instead, I wanted a calm, stringent design that matches the kitchen’s general expression, including tap heads, handles and levers. A carbonator with a simple expression that is equally simple to use. A more sustainable alternative to buying sparkling water from the supermarket by using ordinary tap water and reusing the bottle.
