The ultimate dust-royer

handy_vacuum_cleaner_1

When you think of vacuums, there are probably a few images that come to mind – the engineering aesthetics of Dyson, the loveable face of Henry the Hoover or the old reliable clunky hard-shelled Bosch and Siemens of the past. Well, what if you were to take the brilliance of both the emerging Chinese and Korean design languages and transform the handheld vacuum – you’d stumble upon the Handy Vacuum Cleaner designed by Myeonghoon Lee & Yubin Choi.

This product is edgy, coming off as intimidating almost, something that you would pick up in the toughest of situations and never bat an eye. This handheld vacuum is a dust-royer. The cyclone and motor located just under the handle, have a visual appearance like that of a futuristic concept bike, adding a subtle flair with the orange highlight. There is one area that I feel Lee and Choi rushed, which was the charging unit. With the Dyson handheld vacuum, the charging unit can be mounted to a wall, like that inside a closet, and the interaction of docking the vacuum is an effortless process, a carefully thought out one. It’s features like the Dyson charging unit that make good products great.

Aerodynamic Audio!

bo_wireless_speaker_1

This Beosound Wireless Speaker concept looks like it’s waiting to be cast in a SciFi movie, but no, it isn’t a UFO. It’s a pretty neat hi-end audio speaker with a cut-out in the center that spews beautifully delicious tunes in a 360° radius. The Insides show a massive all-in-one driver with a great deal of circuitry, hinting at its digital audio prowess. The outsides, however make the speaker look like it’s speeding faster than the speed of sound!

Atmos-clear!

air_purifier_myeonghoon_1

There’s a certain beauty to the Atmus Air Purifier design by Myeonghoon Lee. It doesn’t look too industrial, nor does it look too artistic. It strikes a middle ground that one rarely sees in products. The design’s capsule shape gives it a sort of aesthetic that’s pleasing to the human eye. The purifier can be used in vertical mode with a stand, or in horizontal mode as a tabletop device. However, no matter where you use it, it’s sure to beautify your home while purifying it!
