JATA SENSES JEGR0550
This electric griddle is conceived under the principles of minimal Japanese architecture: clarity of form, structural honesty, and restrained material expression. The design eliminates the superfluous, focusing on proportion, balance, and functional precision.
The geometry is clean and compact, with a low horizontal profile that communicates stability and purpose. Every element serves a defined role — from the integrated heating plate to the intuitive temperature control — reinforcing usability through simplicity.
Materiality plays a central role. A deliberate contrast between matte and glossy black surfaces is achieved directly through mold finishing techniques, avoiding secondary operations such as painting. The matte surfaces absorb light and visually reduce mass, while the glossy accents define interaction zones and edges. This controlled contrast enhances perception of quality while maintaining manufacturing efficiency.
The architecture of the product is optimized for manufacturability and cost efficiency. The housing is designed with minimal part count, consistent wall thicknesses, and draft angles suitable for injection molding. Assembly is straightforward, with logical component stacking and accessible fastening points, reducing production time and complexity.
The result is a product that balances aesthetics, engineering rigor, and economic viability — a quiet, precise object designed to integrate naturally into contemporary kitchens.
