The Challenge
Reinventing Crystal-Clear Ice at Home
Klaris set out to reinvent the process of creating crystal-clear cocktail ice at home. The challenge was transforming a founder-built prototype into a refined consumer appliance that could be manufactured reliably, meet customer expectations, and support long-term growth.
The system needed to balance performance, aesthetics, manufacturability, and cost while delivering a premium user experience.
