CMF process ahead of traditional industrial design | SUPOR

SUPOR：The home furnishing of products has always been a subject, especially the environmental home furnishing category, and how to integrate into the home environment is particularly important. De-electrification and furnishing seem to be relatively short-cut solutions. When we are doing environmental home furnishings, we try to deal with these problems from different angles, including our Fan Dai ironing machine, air purifier, steam mop, T6 lightweight vacuum cleaner products, the feelings conveyed to consumers are the same, what you choose is no longer an infinite stack of functions, but a living aesthetic.

When making the T6 vacuum cleaner, we advanced the CMF process of the T6 vacuum cleaner to the product concept stage, and fully explored the application possibilities of various materials. Early proposals also included spray-free injection molding, metal brushed texture, etc. In the end, I chose the Chinese red that is more in line with the preferences of Chinese people. In the entire design, the most eye-catching bright spot is no more than the use of special technology in the dust cup. The dust cup is the first vacuum plating finishing in the industry. The difficulty of this finishing is that the depth of the vacuum plating color is difficult to control. In the repeated proofing process with the supplier, the number of vacuum dust cups in a furnace was up to 105. It is necessary to use a 21mm length aluminum wire for vacuum plating.

The part of the decorative part is applied with brushed metal effect and rich contrast in materials, which enhances the quality of the product while echoing the high-tech attributes of the product to a certain extent.

The display interface adopts full-screen technology, which can display functions such as battery percentage, dust full, and filter cleaning in real time.                     

Organizing Committee of CMF DESIGN AWARD: Can you tell us about your company's CMF department? For example: Approximately when was it established? Group background? Attention? Main work etc.

SUPOR：Supor's CMF module was planned into the industrial design system when the industrial design team was established in 2010. However, due to the scale at that time, an independent department was not established. A full-time CMF designer was recruited around 2014 and began to be dedicated. Full-time engaged in the development and promotion of CMF. At that time, the work of CMF was still only on the promotion of innovative materials from excellent supplier resources. The real R&D from scratch was only in the field of pattern & texture. With the overall development of the electrical industry and the evolution of consumption patterns, the influence of CMF in the field of industrial design has become higher and higher. Gradually, we began to invest in more full-time personnel, more professional systems, and more resources to build on CMF. A relatively complete system.

Supor's CMF team is not only responsible for CMF management at the corporate PI level, but also grafting and designing innovative CMF finishing, and advance the CMF process even before the traditional industrial design process.

Organizing Committee of CMF DESIGN AWARD: How do you pay attention to the CMF DESIGN AWARD? What's your intention of participating in CMF DESIGN AWARD?

SUPOR：Because of the need to build an independent enterprise-level CMF laboratory, We had an intersection with Mr. Huang Mingfu, the sponsor of the CMF DESIGN AWARD. Since the first CMF DESIGN AWARD, we have been paying attention to the CMF DESIGN AWARD and were lucky enough to get some awards.

The work of the CMF system is a long way to go, requiring a large amount of resource input, but the output is full of many uncertainties, so a major premise is to be recognized, not only by consumers, but also by enterprises. The CMF DESIGN AWARD is a good platform. With the opportunity to speak, you will get attention, get resources, and then start a positive cycle. Especially in such an age of subdivision of all things, as the most direct part of dialogue with consumers, CMF needs a steady stream of rapid development.

On the other hand, the commercial promotion of products also needs the support of professional awards. At the same time, we also want to discuss some application areas with the best friends and merchants to promote the positive development of CMF.

Organizing Committee of CMF DESIGN AWARD: Your message to CMF DESIGN AWARD

SUPOR：We will continue to pay attention to the CMF DESIGN AWARD, and hope that the award organizing committee will not be sad, not prematurely commercialized, and ensure the authority and professionalism of the award, which is bound to be an evaluation standard in the design industry.

At the same time, in addition to the grafting of the industry chain in the industry, We also hope that more energy can be invested to forge and polish the CMF industry. This industry is still young, requires more people to cultivate carefully, and requires more patience.

wish the CMF DESIGN AWARD become better and better and become the industry benchmark.

The CMF DESIGN AWARD was introduced and launched for the first time to the audience and gives a special honour to the sensorial and aesthetic design of products.

CMF is until now an underrated and sometimes marginally treated component of good design. But facing the overcrowded and fast changing market full of hundreds of brands and products, the visual and haptic design is more important than before.
