ALDENS - FLOOR STANDING BOILER DESIGN
The floor-standing boiler design with Alarko-Carrier exemplifies the significant role industrial design plays in driving product innovation. Collaboration between the industrial designer and Alarko-Carrier’s R&D Department for two-years has resulted in a product that achieved both functional excellence and aesthetic distinction.
The Alarko-Carrier boiler range involves the production of 13 different models of floor-standing boilers, ensuring functionality for both domestic and commercial heating applications. These boilers have been categorized into three different height groups with 13 different capacities, each designed to optimize human-boiler interaction through an ergonomic control panel with adjustable angles (Figure 6).
In this project, design is not merely a tool for styling but a strategic element in product development. The objective is to create a solution that responds to contemporary market demands for higher energy efficiency and reduces emissions while maintaining a distinctive visual identity for the Alarko brand.
An essential aspect of this project is to reinforce Alarko’s brand identity through the design of the new boilers. The design language developed for this product has been informed by the company’s core values of trust, quality, and robustness. By integrating these values into the product’s form, the design has contributed to a coherent and modern visual identity for the brand.
This project demonstrates the critical role of industrial design in shaping a product’s functionality and identity for brand recognition. By integrating industrial design with engineering and corporate strategic objectives, the outcome effectively met the demands of both the market and the brand, illustrating the value of design-led innovation.
