Project
Biomorphic Vacuum Cleaner
Software
Trilobate vaccum cleaner is designed based on biomorphic design, considering a species of insects, called Dung Beetle who is eco-friendly and help cleaning the environment. In this design the exact proportions of insect’s body and its body’s color pallet is simulated.
Inspiration
Dung beetles are powerful recyclers in nature. By burying animal dung, they loosen and nourish the soil while helping control fly populations. Without this process, manure would harden on the surface, preventing plant growth and disrupting the ecosystem.
Why Vacuum Cleaner
The resemblance between vacuum cleaners and dung beetles lies in their function and performance. Dung beetles are nature’s professional cleaners: they collect waste, shape it into compact balls, and remove it from its original location. In a different manner, vacuum cleaners perform a similar task by gathering debris and relocating it to a contained space, maintaining cleanliness within human environments. This natural cleaning mechanism inspired the biomorphic form and functionality of the design
