Describe the ergonomic problem and the form study that answered it — the body interface, the fit range, what made the geometry non-obvious.

The regulatory and use constraints behind the housing — cleanability, the user interface, the standards that shaped wall thickness and parting lines.

The idea the concept was testing — the form language and material system, and what it was arguing for.
