The Stahlmann water leakage protection system represents a pinnacle achievement in product design for Ideation Design Agency. Tasked with the development of an integrated system that combines aesthetics with functionality, Ideation took a holistic approach to design each component of the system, ensuring both performance and user-friendly interaction. The system was developed for Stahlmann, a brand renowned for its commitment to safety and reliability in water management solutions.
The Challenge
The main challenge was designing a comprehensive water leakage protection system that includes a control module, floor leakage sensor, and a ball valve, which needed to function impeccably with a response time of three seconds.
The system needed to convey a sense of reliability and safety while maintaining a design that resonates with the aesthetics of modern interiors. Additionally, the system’s components had to be intuitive and maintenance-friendly, suitable for placement in areas with limited visibility like sanitary cabinets.
Stahlmann is known for its robust and durable solutions in the building materials sector, with a particular focus on products that enhance safety and comfort in residential and industrial settings. Expanding into water leakage protection, Stahlmann required a system that not only performs reliably but also integrates seamlessly into home and industrial environments with a modern aesthetic.
Our Solution
product design
The core of the system is a control module connected to a floor leakage sensor and a ball valve. The ball valve, crafted from copper for durability, features a minimalist design with rounded corners to reduce dust accumulation and ensure ease of maintenance.
Visual and Functional Theme:
The conceptual theme revolves around the imagery of diverging water circles, which is visually and functionally integrated into each component. This not only enhances the product’s aesthetic appeal but also aligns with its functional narrative of detecting and responding to water leakage.
material and design innovation
The control module incorporates a silicone connector, simplifying the connection process and accommodating various wire thicknesses. This design choice enhances usability under various installation conditions.
The wireless sensor echoes the ripple effect with a distinct, circular design featuring a logo at the center that lights up upon activation, providing visual feedback during operation.
tactile and visual identity
Special attention was given to tactile feedback, with the faucet button designed to mimic the pattern of waves. This not only serves a functional purpose by enhancing usability in dimly lit conditions but also strengthens the thematic consistency of the design.
The system’s color palette features bright blue and traditional white, reinforcing its connection to water and distinctiveness from competitors.
Outcome
The Stahlmann water leakage protection system has been successfully launched and is well-received for its innovative design and reliable performance.
The system’s intuitive use, quick response time, and visually appealing components effectively communicate its value proposition of safety and peace of mind. By integrating a consistent water-themed design across all elements, Ideation has helped Stahlmann establish a strong presence in the competitive market of water leakage protection systems.
The project not only underscores Ideation’s capability in integrating complex functionalities into user-friendly designs but also highlights our commitment to enhancing user experience and product effectiveness. The Stahlmann system is a testament to how thoughtful design can translate into successful product solutions that meet both aesthetic and practical needs in the modern home and industrial environments.
