The Challenge
Shark, a global leader in household innovation, developed a new range of canister vacuum cleaners and needed support in refining their Colour, Material and Finish (CMF) strategy. The goal was to:
-
Establish a clear product and category hierarchy within the range as part of Shark’s wider category offering.
-
Ensure the three-tier CMF system aligned with Shark’s brand identity.
-
Tailor the design to appeal to the European market while maintaining global consistency.

The Challenge
“Dot ID have been a strategic design partner for Shark since the inception of the Shark Beauty portfolio. Their deep industry knowledge allowed them to partner with Shark design and engineering teams to provide valuable insights into design, materials, system configuration and consumer interactions. I look forward to continued work with Steve, James and the team as the Shark Beauty range grows.”

The Solution
Leveraging our extensive CMF expertise, we explored multiple concepts before refining them into three distinct yet cohesive colorways. Each tier was carefully crafted to:
-
Maintain a family resemblance across the range.
-
Clearly communicate product positioning and value.
-
Enhance perceived quality and desirability for different customer segments.
A key focus was on functionality and durability, we selected finishes that not only enhanced aesthetics but also improved visual robustness, reducing the appearance
of wear over time. Tinted transparencies, premium plastics and metallic accents were strategically integrated to convey performance benefits and reinforce product hierarchy.
