Joseph Joseph - Eclispe™ Dryer
Compact, concealed drying for modern homes
The Eclipse 3-Tier clothes airer is a thoughtfully designed solution for indoor clothes drying that combines generous capacity with discreet functionality. With its soft architectural form set behind a innovative folding screen, it redefines a traditionally utilitarian object to better suit open-plan, design-conscious homes.
By blending utility with discreet aesthetics, the Eclipse airer addresses real user frustrations around drying clothes in multipurpose homes. We helped Joseph Joseph extend their laundry range with a product that meets both practical and emotional needs - offering convenience, discretion and intuitive usability in a compact, elegant package.

Process
As industrial design and development partners, we collaborated closely with Joseph Joseph to translate their functional brief into a refined, robust and manufacturable product. Our involvement included:
Concept Development & Design Language: Evolved the initial drying-frame concept into a space-efficient, unobtrusive structure, balancing strength and style.
Mechanical Design & Engineering: Developed the tiered folding mechanism, caster-based movement, and screen deployment features with mechanical simplicity and user safety in mind.
Prototyping & Testing: Built and refined appearance and engineering prototypes to validate strength (14 kg load), mobility, and tier folding across varied laundry loads.
Manufacturing Support: Delivered detailed CAD and DFM refinements, aligning materials and tolerances for efficient tooling, high-volume production, and longevity in domestic use.
