BRIEF: A compact and portable blender designed to mix fruit, liquids, and powdered supplements. Developed for fitness and sports environments, it allows users to prepare a fresh drink on demand before or after their workout.
FRU FRU is a 2-in-1 portable blender designed for everyday use on the go, combining the functions of a water bottle and a blender into one compact product. The concept is based on a modular system where the motorised base, which integrates the blade and motor, can be separated from the container, allowing it to function as a regular bottle when blending is not needed.
