Nimbus: The Magnetic Blender

The brief was to create a portable blender with a calming, ergonomic design and a seamless magnetic coupling mechanism. This device will appeal to health-conscious users who want a convenient, visually appealing device that can integrate into their lifestyle. The blender will be more of a lifestyle product and less of a kitchen appliance, and people won't mind using it as a display item as well.
