This project was developed within the framework of the module "Designing with Digital Tools." The design process began with the selection of the concepts "Atmosphere, Entertaining, and Functional." Through combining these three concepts, we arrived at the idea of designing an aesthetic sneaker cleaning machine that not only performs the entire cleaning process but also transforms it into a happening. The "Sneaker Cleaner" stands at a total height of 179cm, with an exterior casing made from brushed aluminum. The intended locations for the "Sneaker Cleaner" are sneaker stores or sneaker exhibitions.

The lower drawer contains water containers. The upper drawer features a platform where sneakers can be clamped in and transferred to the machine for further cleaning. Additionally, when closed, the upper drawer is sealed, preventing water from escaping during the washing process.
A hydraulic mechanism in the upper drawer moves the sneaker into the glass dome. There, it is processed and cleaned by a robotic arm.
