Solven-G

A gas-stove concept exploring how physical controls, sensing and a companion app could support awareness during everyday cooking.

01 / Everyday cooking concerns

The original presentation frames three concerns: uncertainty about leaving the stove on, confidence while cooking, and children reaching hot surfaces or controls. These scenarios establish the design direction.

Uncertainty about whether the stove has been turned off.
A pan with flames rising above it accompanies a question about confidence in the kitchen.
Concern about losing control while cooking.

02 / Stove & control concept

The design pairs a two-burner form with a front control panel and a proposed monitoring system. The renderings explore temperature sensing, cookware-presence sensing and automatic shut-off, together with a connection to the app.

These are proposed features. The available documentation does not establish tested safety performance or validated operating thresholds.

03 / Companion app

App mockups bring together monitoring, cooking duration, temperature, reminders and alerts. The screens illustrate intended interactions and a proposed timed shut-off function.
