BACKGROUND
Handheld fabric steamers are an appealing alternative to ironing for many young professionals due to the convenience of not having to set up an ironing board or learn how to iron. However, most handheld fabric steamers on the market today are either quite small for travel, and thus don’t hold enough water, or are larger for home use and thus heavy when used for longer de-wrinkling sessions.
current landscape
How might we design a portable steamer that is compact for travel, holds enough water for light/moderate dewrinkling, and can also serve as home decor?
