Tria's unique triangular nozzle allows for suction from three different points, ensuring thorough cleaning from every angle. This innovative design feature can be easily detached with a single soft movement, transforming Tria into a handheld vacuum cleaner. Additionally, the telescopic tube can be adjusted to the desired height with a single movement, allowing for convenient upright vacuum cleaning.
What sets Tria apart is its ability to be transformed and stored in a compact form. The telescopic tube can be inserted into the body-frame, and the foldable handle further enhances its space-saving capabilities. This means that Tria can be easily hidden in any location, without occupying much space.
Manufacturing Tria involves a bending process for the aluminum telescopic tube, ensuring a perfect fit with the main body's arc. The recyclable plastic parts are produced using injection machines. The handle folding joint features a special locking mechanism made with PA%50GFR.
With dimensions of 1070 x 230 x 220 mm in an upright position, Tria can be adjusted in height from 1070 mm to 825 mm. In handheld usage, the dimensions are 525 x 140 x 155 mm. These specifications make Tria versatile and adaptable to different cleaning needs.
Thanks to its telescopic tube and foldable handle, Tria can be used and stored at different heights, catering to various cleaning requirements. The triangular nozzle covers an angle of 79 degrees, enabling cleaning parallel to walls and effortlessly reaching hard-to-clean borders and sharp corners. The receptacle with a double-filter system can be easily taken out and cleaned with a single hand.
The Tria project started in December 2013 and was launched in April 2015 in Europe. It has been kept under wraps due to the secrecy of the patent application period. The design is patent-pending in Europe and Turkey.
Tria was born out of extensive research on consumer behavior and the evolving expectations for efficient cleaning solutions. As living spaces become smaller, the need for multi-functional and compact cleaning appliances has grown. Tria aims to meet these needs and provide practical solutions for modern households.
One of the biggest challenges in designing Tria was the curved telescopic bend of the tube, which required precise engineering and manufacturing. Overcoming this hurdle was crucial to achieving the desired functionality and compactness of the design.
Tria is not just a vacuum cleaner; it is a versatile cleaning tool that adapts to different cleaning scenarios. Its innovative design and functionality have been recognized with the prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Home Appliances category in 2015. This award celebrates Tria's outstanding expertise, innovation, and artistic skill, showcasing a remarkable level of excellence and introducing positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
