Stone: Revolutionizing Home Cleaning with Compact Power

Upright Vacuum Cleaner Merges Elegance with Efficiency

In the quest for practicality and style in home appliances, the Stone upright vacuum cleaner stands out as a beacon of innovation. Designed by the esteemed Fatih Saruhan, Stone is a testament to the evolving needs of modern households. With its roots in the Fakir Hausgerate brand identity, Stone is a sub-segment of the vacuum cleaner family, inspired by the brand's flagship product, Bolt. The design's aggressive yet powerful lines are a nod to its predecessor, while its affordability is enhanced by a reduction in the number of pieces and the use of masterbatch plastic parts.

Stone distinguishes itself from the crowd with its compact and ergonomic design, tailored for the shrinking living spaces of today. The vacuum cleaner boasts a motor power of 300W and a suction power of 90.49W, all within a body that weighs a mere 1525 grams without accessories. Its dimensions, 22.5x13x33 cm without accessories and 114x13x33 cm with the main tube and brush, make it an ideal companion for easy and effective cleaning.

Manufactured entirely in Turkey, Stone is a proud representation of local craftsmanship and technological prowess. It is designed to be compatible with domestically produced batteries and battery management systems, showcasing a commitment to supporting local manufacturing capabilities. The design team, including Latif Mahmudoğlu, Mert Gürsoy, and Osman Cihan Demirel, has worked meticulously to ensure that Stone is not only a visually appealing product but also one that is practical and budget-friendly.

Operationally, Stone is a breeze to use, with an ergonomic grip and a user-friendly panel that simplifies the cleaning process. This design initiative aligns perfectly with the brand's ethos, combining cost-effective strategies with high-quality materials to maintain a competitive edge in the market. The result is a product that enhances the brand's perception without compromising on financial sustainability.

Stone's journey from concept to reality took place in Turkey, from April to August 2023. The design process involved extensive research to align with the Fakir Hausgerate brand identity, while also addressing creative and technical challenges. The team's dedication to overcoming these challenges has resulted in a product that not only meets professional and industrial requirements but also contributes to a better world through its design excellence.

As an Iron A' Design Award winner in the Home Appliances Design category for 2024, Stone is recognized for its well-designed, practical, and innovative features that resonate with both industry professionals and consumers. It is a shining example of how design can integrate best practices and technical excellence to deliver products that fulfill needs and evoke positive emotions. Stone is not just a vacuum cleaner; it is a statement of elegance, efficiency, and environmental consciousness in the home cleaning industry.
