MultiFresh® Next won the GOOD Design Award

We are proud to announce that MultiFresh® Next, the most performing blast chiller in the market designed by Studio Volpi design team, has received a GOOD Design Award in the industrial category. 

IRINOX asked Studio Volpi to step into a complete re-design of the entire product range, not only to modernize its looks, but also to further elevate user experience through an enhanced and modernized user interface.

Key points:

  • The new handle thus kept its size and position, but the perfect semi-circle had now been replaced by a semi-hexagon evoking the “o” in the IRINOX logo, reproducing the same font. The hexagonal “o” was also used as a seal, integrated into the handle.

  • The distinctive blue color was now to be found in a band running across the top of the appliances, encasing the control panel. A special hue of anodized, metallic blue was created exclusively for IRINOX as a strongly characterizing element.

  • The profile of the door, not considered a “protected” identity element, was liberally modified and had now acquired sleek looking and more comfortable chamfered edges.

  • The temperature probe, an essential piece of any blast freezer, was redesigned and given the shape of a hexagon, in line with the logo, the door handles and the classy seals.

  • Finally, the air-intake grids were kept almost unchanged to provide a strong déjàvu effect, an element of continuity with the brand’s tradition.

The team of designers added also another distinctive element, a strip of LED lights right underneath the blue band on the product. A very useful feature when you are working at the other end of your kitchen. The LED strip provides a clearly visible display of the status of the appliance, whether it is idle, working, at which stage it is in the current process, and even whether there is a problem.
