German eco-social design student Manuel Immler has recently completed an electricity-free kitchen appliance prototype that features a hand-powered crank drive. Dubbed Pino, the simple yet effective kitchen appliance is designed to enable electricity-free, human-powered kitchen tasks, such as whisking, beating, mixing and grinding.
The masters project was inspired by Immler’s desire to create a sustainable and responsible design that helps reverse the negative impact commercial production has on the planet.
