Given a Shark steam iron, it was deconstructed, its parts 'hung out to dry', and analyzed. I concluded that the steam iron is a decorated hot plate; and asked why it had to be so big, and why we still can't use it while wearing the garment?

To address my questions, I created a high-end spot iron that can be used while the garment is worn. The target market would be business people and film crews, elevating Shark's brand image. 

TUX was designed to be slick, discreet, and functional. The goal was to create a high-end product for Shark.

The fabric is pressed between two magnetic halves. The top half generates heat, while the bottom half follows - stretching and flattening the fabric. The bottom half also reflects the heat towards the cloth, and protects the user from burns. For extra tough wrinkles, TUX will produce steam where water is directly applied to the fabric.

To prove that a small, portable iron would be able to press cloth and to create steam, I attached a small section of the iron's heating plate to a power supply. The plate generated enough heat to turn water to steam.

The cost of production. per unit, would be about 11-14 USD; but it would retail for 25-30 USD.
