"While Lomi’s vision gives purpose to food waste, its scope can grow to help prevent food from becoming waste in the first place."
By prolonging produce shelf life, how can we extend Lomi’s impact towards reducing food waste and encouraging healthier habits?
A new home for produce
Nest migrates produce storage to the countertop, providing an enclosure to extend freshness while promoting produce consumption through curated placement.
Informative and Accessible Controls
A seamless control interface allows users to operate Nest and adjust between three cooling levels. The power logo doubles as an alert, glowing yellow when it’s time to replace the ethylene regulation package.
Preservation Regulating Chamber
The ethylene regulation chamber sits at Nest’s center for complete access to the produce during operation. The regulation package sits in an enclosed case, actively regulating ethylene levels to extend shelf life.
A mess-free straining solution
Nest enhances the user experience through the integrated runoff collection solution in the preserver.
The sculpted perforated carrying shell integrates with a water run-off collector, allowing users to transfer freshly washed produce straight into Nest without drying, simplifying the transition from rinse to preservation.
A look for everyone
Nest features 4 distinct finishes, paying homage to Lomi’s original product finishes, while reinforcing Lomi’s brand vision in sustainability.
