The design of Herbet is a result of meticulous observation and research. Herbet's unique properties lie in its use of technology, which not only dictates its design but also enhances its stability, strength, and reliability. The stove is made of laser-cut steel components, each designed for a specific purpose. The three-legged grip ensures stability for outdoor use, while the jagged-edged arms of the mount increase friction to prevent the tumbling of cooking utensils.
Herbet's open and close mechanism is unique, employing a simple hinges system and a secure lock when the gas tube is screwed in to prevent it from collapsing during use. The stove is built mainly from laser cutting on stainless steel and bending. The components are connected to each other using stainless steel hex key screws, with the hinges made of heat-treated stainless steel rivets.
The stove's dimensions are divided into two states: open and closed. When closed, the stove is compact and easy to carry, making it ideal for outdoor activities such as camping and traveling. When open, the stove expands to provide a stable and reliable cooking platform.
The user experience of Herbet conveys a sense of robust presence and reliability. The stove can be easily opened with one simple action, and the gas tube can be screwed into the bottom to lock and seal the stove. The hexagonal shape of the stove, with no sharp edges, ensures easy handling and carrying.
The design of Herbet is a result of extensive research and testing. The challenge was to translate the simple actions of expansion and contraction of a pipe to meet the needs of a portable gas stove. This required the adjustment of the axles to achieve a symmetrical design to assure stability. The result is a portable gas stove that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
Herbet's innovative design has earned it the Silver A' Design Award in 2019, a prestigious accolade awarded to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs. This recognition is a testament to Idan Herbet's innovative approach and commitment to excellence in design.
