Take a Breath of Fresh Design

According to data from World Health Organization (WHO), 92% of the world’s population lives in air-polluted places, and thus, breathes a lot of contaminated air. A problem most of us take for granted and continue to contribute and pollute it on a daily basis. It is said that within each year, an estimated of 6.5 million people died because of both indoor and outdoor air pollution. A staggering number of a world looking at making smarter audio equipment instead of smart air sensors.

Inspired by the look of the plant, AirQuality is designed as a handy product where the design relates to the function. Designed by Ryan Yeung, the AirQuality is a Bluetooth wireless connected device that measures VOC/CO2, the temperature and humidity in the surrounding area. Carrying a somewhat playful aesthetic, the natural and artificial contrast here is an ironic twist on such a well-needed product. What may seem at first playful, may be a product which helps you live better and healthier in the long run. Time to ditch that minimalistic steel desk sculpture and replace it with this functional smart air sensors.

Modern Romance Made Easy!

treehole_layout

The Treehole is a modern communication device that earns its namesake from an age-old legend that goes something like this: if you happen upon a tree with a naturally formed hole, you can lean in close and whisper to it your deepest secrets — your secret will be kept safe and live within the tree forever! Pretty cute, eh? Inspired by this folktale, Treehole presents a modern way to store and share your “secrets” with the one you love.

It’s designed to be installed in any room in the house where it can connect to wifi. Using its simplistic interface that’s shaped like a tree, you can lean in leave a secret message for your loved one OR use your smartphone to record something remotely. It’s perfect for the shy guy or anyone looking to spice things up! When they see that its indicator light is flashing, they’ll know they have a secret something waiting for them. All they have to do is press the center button to play!
