The target group live in existing small apartments of blocks in high-density city areas.
They work intensively. They do not have time to make grocery shopping in person or cook for hours at home, due to the intensity of the work. For this reason, they prefer online shopping of frozen or ready to cook, healthy foods.
The target group often work overtime. As they live alone or as a working couple, sometimes there is nobody at home when the cargo arrives.
For the security of the delivery and to keep the cold chain of frozen/ chilled goods, they need a cooling unit with secure storage space for multiple delivery. They should be able controle it remotely even if they turn back home late.
Miele Hug, is an origami-inspired slim and smart cooling device, that can be adapted to any standard (90X204cm) entrance door of the apartment and can be adjustable to any international delivery sized box. The flat surface of the device covers the outer surface of the entrance door and gives it smart control features. The flat moving surfaces can be shaped into two separate or one combi remote controlled cooling, secure volumes which can be controlled remotely by the resident with Miele App.
