This master’s thesis, completed within Industrial Design Engineering at KTH Royal Instituteof Technology in Stockholm, was carried out in close collaboration with Trangia. Trangia hasidentified a trend in outdoor recreation among individuals who spend time in nature but donot necessarily hike long distances. This group seeks to prepare more advanced and creativemeals outdoors. This thesis aims to investigate how Trangia could expand their product rangeto serve this emerging target group. This thesis applies a user-centred design approach todevelop a solution that meets the needs of these potential customers. This thesis describes the development of Trangia Duo, a new Trangia stove for outdoorenthusiasts who enjoy shorter hikes and creative outdoor cooking. The final product, TrangiaDuo, demonstrates Trangia’s potential to enter the creative outdoor cooking segment. Thenew product offers a way to address emerging demand and meet the needs of a growing groupinterested in outdoor recreation and creative cooking. It is both an ideal complement forhikers and trekkers who want a more stationary version of their Trangia kitchen to use at theirbase camp, as well as vanlifers and car-campers who cook near their vehicles. It is suitable forboth beginners and experienced users. The concept is well developed in terms of usability and product performance and is ready fora functional prototype to evaluate performance before the next iteration. The project used a user-centered approach and the Double Diamond framework. The processdemonstrated the value of combining user insights with iterative concept development. Literature reviews, user studies, and market analysis established a foundation that defined thetarget group and market position. Sketching, prototyping, and continuous evaluationsupported the development and refinement of the final concept.
