A new, digital appliance interface elevates the cooking experience

  • Challenge

    Kenwood commissioned Method to research and develop a consistent, flexible system and design language that could be applied to all kitchen products in future.

  • Solution

    We created, tested, and validated a set of universal user experience principles to be applied to all future Kenwood appliances.

Award-winning prototypes uncover deeper insights, faster

  • Results

    Method’s final recommendations, tested and validated through a series of physical prototypes, resulted in “Universal User Interface” for all future Kenwood appliances. We also authored an online style guide outlining in detail the implications of these UX principles – devised as a living document for use throughout the Kenwood organization to guide decision making and design choices when shaping the future of the Kenwood product range.

    Kenwood’s Universal User Interface won RedDot and iF World Design Guide awards for Product Design.

"“Method is a great partner and this has been a fantastic journey for us — a highly passionate and engaging team from Method helped us to build the best consumer experience and establish our brand identity through the user interface of our kitchen appliances.”"
