Furrigo: a cleaning concept for cat cafés.

A cat-café cleaning concept combining electrostatic capture and turbine suction. I developed the scenario, CAD assembly, grip, magnetic mounting and service access around airborne fur, small debris and limited staff time.

End-to-end product project

Dark rendered portable cleaner with interchangeable coloured variants — FIG. 01Furrigo concept render. The project was not built.

01 / OVERVIEW

The project in a minute.

THE OUTCOME

A documented product concept with two cleaning mechanisms, internal CAD assembly, material choices and a removable protective cage.

What supports this? ↓

The challenge: Cat-café staff must deal with airborne fur and debris while working around customers, animals, narrow spaces and competing service tasks.
Independent work: User research, concept development and mechanical design. The detailed report shows the dual meshes, turbine, PCB, battery, grip and magnetic fixture in an exploded assembly, with design iterations tied to the café scenario.
Read this in context: An unbuilt concept developed through research, scenarios, CAD and rendering. Cleaning effectiveness and battery runtime were not tested on a physical prototype.

02 / THINKING

The choices behind the result.

Open a chapter to follow the work and the choices made along the way.

01 / DESIGN

Move beyond a tool that must always be held

I explored a magnetic fixture and retractable cord so the device could be suspended or placed near the task, while retaining handheld use.

02 / ENGINEERING

Combine capture mechanisms in one serviceable assembly

The concept combines electrostatic meshes with turbine suction. CAD development considered the grip, switch, cage release, battery and wiring routes rather than interchangeable cleaning tips.
