Revolutionizing Kitchen Space: The Creator C-500

Chen Canliang and Hu Xindian's Innovative Pan Handle Folding Design

The inspiration behind the Creator C-500 came from the need to optimize the use of kitchen space, particularly in smaller homes. The folding pan handle design allows for more efficient use of space, and the concept can be applied to other kitchenware handles. This innovative approach to design can significantly enhance people's everyday lives by making their kitchens more organized and spacious.

What sets the Creator C-500 apart from other designs is its collapsible handle. This feature allows the cookware to be neatly stacked, making it almost 'invisible' in the kitchen. This increases the utilization rate of kitchen space and allows for more flexibility in how pots are stored, whether stacked or placed crosswise with other utensils.

The Creator C-500 is made from Poly tetra fluoroethylene and stainless steel, and comes in three sizes: 55mm / 2.8L, 90mm / 4L, and 125mm / 3.5L. The design team, Chen Canliang and Hu Xindian, have effectively addressed the challenge of congested kitchen space with this innovative design.

The pot handle of the Creator C-500 is not only foldable but also features a steam outlet, which doubles as a water inlet, at the connection point between the handle and the pot. This design element allows for the diversion of dripping water back into the pot while draining excess steam, preventing overflow. The handle's folding design also ensures pot stability while cooking, increasing safety in the kitchen.

The Creator C-500 project began in September 2017 in Xiamen and was completed in November 2017. The design is currently pending patent approval. The design has been recognized for its innovation and excellence, receiving the Silver A' Design Award, which is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation.
