In a groundbreaking partnership, Yves Béhar and fuseproject have joined forces with Yoshino Power to introduce the world’s first series of solid-state portable power stations. The collaboration between these design giants and Yoshino Power has resulted in a four-unit product offering that not only redefines the aesthetics of portable power stations but also introduces cutting-edge technology for enhanced safety and performance.
Designer: Fuse Project, Yoshino Power
Yoshino Power, recognizing the need for a departure from traditional power station designs, enlisted the expertise of fuseproject to reimagine the product from the ground up. The result is a solid-state portable power station that challenges the conventional look of toolboxes and equipment, presenting itself as a lifestyle product. The mellow-green shade, a robust metal handle that seamlessly wraps around the shell, and a shatterproof, water-resistant interface contribute to a design that is both functional and visually striking.
The design team deliberately chose matte and muted green and gray tones as primary colors, steering away from the technical, bright color palettes commonly associated with battery and power tool categories. The metal handle, in contrast to painted finishes on competitor products, emphasizes durability and premium quality, making these power stations stand out in both form and function available in 4 sizes.
Yoshino’s new solid-state portable power stations boast a 50 percent reduction in weight compared to similar products, showcasing the fusion of functionality and aesthetics. Functionality takes center stage with built-in LED lights, AC, DC, and USB outputs, providing users with a versatile charging solution for gadgets on the go. Remarkably, these power stations can recharge from 0-80% in under an hour, ensuring quick and efficient power replenishment.
The user interface of Yoshino’s solid-state portable power stations has also transformed. fuseproject crafted a unique design, incorporating inspiration from outdoor recreation and lifestyle categories. The bee and honeycomb motif, symbolizing nature, hard work, and continuous energy, adorns various elements of the product, creating a cohesive and visually appealing user experience.
Yoshino Power leaps forward in technology by employing solid electrolytes instead of flammable liquid electrolytes and conventional lithium batteries. Solid-state batteries offer significantly higher energy densities, providing more power while enhancing safety during usage, storage, and transportation. These power stations are tailor-made for various scenarios, including backyard movie nights, off-road camping adventures, remote working, and emergencies.
Equipped with up to 11 ports, depending on the model, users can charge multiple appliances, electronics, and panels simultaneously. For environmentally conscious consumers, the power stations can also be recharged using solar panels while on the road, offering an eco-friendly alternative for on-demand energy.
As Yoshino Power unveils this revolutionary product line, the bee and honeycomb logo design by Yves Béhar and fuseproject takes center stage, further reinforcing the nature-inspired concept that sets these power stations apart. The fusion of innovative design and advanced technology positions Yoshino’s solid-state portable power stations as the go-to solution for those seeking both style and substance in their power needs.
