Nimble Nail Painting Device
[ Salon nails at home ]
The Challenge
The challenge was to create a premium, comfortable user experience that makes placing a hand inside Nimble feel natural and reassuring. We developed a soft hand cushion that supports a relaxed position and integrates seamlessly with the enclosed device, bringing form, comfort and interaction together.
Placement.
Planned to help users interact with the device intuitively, enhancing a pleasant and seamless user experience.
UX-UI
Through multiple ergonomic mockups and testing cycles, we arrived at the pillow concept, offering greater flexibility and enhanced comfort.
Configuration.
Working closely with Nimble’s mechanical team, we ensured that every element of the system aligned with the design language and the overall user experience.
Integration.
Engineered to perform reliably, optimized for efficient production, and built to grow from prototype to mass market.
Precision.

Making the product appear as small as possible, we designed a composition that emphasizes the hand opening as the primary element, while subtly shifting the product’s volume into the background.
