Premium vacuums are built big
Dyson-level quality rarely comes in a truly lightweight, portable handheld.
The Inspiration
Holding my Logitech MX Master 3S upside down, I found a surprisingly natural grip: my thumb tucked under the raised surface, carrying its weight.
How might we make a premium vacuum that feels as natural to hold as a mouse?
Introducing the Suverse Air Whirl
A compact handheld vacuum with an inverted, mouse-inspired grip.
A Grip That Holds Itself
Cutouts cradle the thumb and pinkie to carry the weight, while the contoured top guides the other three fingers.
Color Variants
Black rubber and anodized silver, with metallic accents from champagne gold to deep purple.
Manufacturing
Overmolded or double-shot injection: a matte black rubber body with anodized aluminum accents, housing the motor, fan, filter, and dust bin.
The Process
Studying Existing Vacuums
Researching compact handhelds and what makes them feel premium.
Sketching
Sketching an existing design, then iterating through a series of orthographic drawings.
Clay Grip Studies
Refining the grip by sculpting the natural shape my hand made around it.
