Design Approach
During user observations, we noticed there’s no single universal way people hold a peeler. Some grip it tightly in the palm, others balance it lightly between fingers, and many switch positions depending on the vegetable.This insight guided our approach: rather than forcing users to adapt to the tool, we designed a tool that naturally adapts to the user’s habits.

Design Process & Solution
The process began with hand sketches, followed by 3D CAD modeling and rapid prototyping. We tested multiple handle geometries and blade configurations to refine comfort, usability, and aesthetics.We paid special attention to hygiene every surface of the peeler is accessible and easy to clean, making it fully dishwasher safe. The 120g weight and balanced center of gravity allow smooth gliding with minimal effort, letting the tool’s own weight assist the motion.

Design Process & Solution
User testing and surveys helped define preferred handle proportions and surface finishes, informing the final geometry. The redesigned side “ears” serve dual purposes: removing blemishes and offering an extra grip point for controlled, precise peeling.
