WokooDesign | Product Development Partner in China, we are excited to announce our involvement in the innovative mini fridge design, prototype sample for cosmetics product development and as a custom cosmetic fridge manufacturer, ensuring that your beauty products maintain their optimal condition.
Background
A beauty startup approached us with a clear but challenging goal: they wanted to launch a custom-designed mini fridge for cosmetics, tailored for skincare influencers and luxury e-commerce sales. Incorporating unique elements in the mini fridge design was key for their brand.
They didn’t have an engineering team. What they had was:
- A strong product idea
- Mood board references
- A limited budget for tooling
- A plan to test the market with a small batch
This is exactly the kind of project we love at Wokoo Design — where we can step in as a product development partner and bring ideas to life from scratch.
What the Client Needed
✔️ A sleek, quiet, elegant mini fridge for cosmetics
✔️ A unique exterior design (not the cheap “Amazon look”)
✔️ Quick sample turnaround for influencer PR kits
✔️ Low-volume manufacturing (MOQ < 500 units).
Mini Fridge Design and Development Process
1. Design & 3D Modeling
We translated the client’s idea into:
- An industrial design concept with soft edges and premium finishes
- A custom UI panel with touch buttons and temperature display on LCD screen.
- CAD files ready for prototyping and tooling that define the revolutionary mini fridge design they envisioned
2. Custom Design Mini fridge Prototyping
We worked with a Shenzhen-based fridge supplier and built a functional prototype:
- Cooled to 8–10°C
- Gloss black surface with gold trim
- Internal shelves sized for cosmetics
🔧 Real photo from our workspace, showcasing our innovative approach to mini fridge design.
3. Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
We helped the client adjust:
- Surface texture & mold parting lines
- Snap-fit structure and PCB layout
- Packaging design for fragile items
Challenges We Solved
| Issue | Our Solution |
|---|---|
| High cost of tooling | Used a semi-custom shell to minimize cost |
| MOQ too high | Matched with a low-volume compressor factory |
| LED panel design | Integrated a 2-button interface with visual feedback |
| Short lead time | Delivered prototype in two weeks total, demonstrating efficiency in mini fridge design process |
Final Outcome
- ✅ Full working sample in under 15 days
- ✅ Optimized BOM for small batch production
- ✅ Client used sample for promotional photoshoots & brand launch featuring the custom mini fridge design
