The Innermost Restoration Series is one direction of Midea Product Identity Project. This project looks to design a whole set high-end home appliance with 5 category products which from 5 departments of Midea. The goal is the creation of a unique positioning for the Midea brand in between the company’s other brands and within the overall market environment. Base on the result of persona analysis, I tried to use design to present the theme of back to essence, downshifting lifestyle and invisible caring for the perfectionist target group. And I named it Innermost Restoration, which means return to original nature and keep strongly home-oriented.
归心系列是美的产品识别项目中的一个设计方向。该项目旨在通过对五个不同部门不同品类的家电进行设计,打造一套高端家电系列。目标是通过独特的市场定位,帮助美的品牌跟公司其他品牌以及整个家电市场环境拉开区隔。基于用户画像分析结果,我试着用设计为新锐精致者这一目标群体呈现回归本源、慢生活以及无微不至的主题。我为这个设计方向取名“归心”,意味着返璞归真的自我精神探索,也意味着归心似箭以家庭为导向的生活方式。
