“MAGBIT” is a new brand for research facilities that identifies various problems that occur during research activities as “behavioral bugs” from a researcher’s perspective and designs smooth and beautiful movements. Based on the concept of “THINK Action,” Dalton’s new solution was born from the idea of ​​working closely with researchers to create optimal solutions for research activities. (Judge comment) During the design process, this product brings to light the stress that researchers had unconsciously stored up, such as confusion, misperceptions, inefficiency, and discomfort that occurred during their research activities. Then, we derived the optimal solution to solve these problems using an approach that designs researchers’ actions, and by reviewing the positional relationship, we intuitively matched the handle and nozzle, and created sash frames and glass that took into account the researcher’s line of sight during use. This is reflected in the shape and color of the product, such as the improvement of boundaries. The design was evaluated for its ability to create an ideal research environment by enhancing functionality and safety as well as emotional value for researchers. Producer: Dalton Co., Ltd.
