Aliya Hand Sanitiser Dispenser allows fast and automatic hygiene

Posted on by

The pandemic has definitely presented a lot of unique challenges. It has been two years since the dreaded virus started to affect the whole world. As a result, many people have formed habits like wearing facemasks, frequent handwashing, and for some, using alcohol or hand sanitizer.

Those habits may probably be part of our lives for a while and even after the pandemic. However, when it comes to hand sanitization, innovations have been introduced in ways we never imagined they would. One perfect example is the award-winning Aliya from Valentino Bianchi Studios. It’s a fully automatic bentwood sanitizer dispenser inspired by the Asian Elephant.

Aliya Hand Sanitiser Dispenser Usage

The Aliya can be a new staple in your life. Since your daily routine won’t be complete without hand sanitation, you may want to get something fun, quirky, and useful. This special hand sanitizer dispensing unit is aesthetically pleasing. It can be another conversation starter because of its unique design and purpose.

The fully automatic liquid hand sanitizer dispenser can be mounted on the wall. You can also place it on a table or stool in your living room for easy access. It’s a masterpiece that design enthusiasts like you and me will appreciate. The Aliya uses seasoned natural softwood bent to give the elephant trunk shape. The alcohol or sanitizer comes out of the “trunk” part after being stored inside the “belly.”

Aliya Hand Sanitiser Dispenser Where to Buy

Valentino Bianchi’s Aliya makes hand cleansing a delightful experience. It has become a chore, but there are ways to make things interesting. The hand sanitizer dispensing unit is a masterpiece you’d want to show off to family, friends, and guests. Doing things in style should be the norm now, so life will be a bit better and brighter.

The Aliya dispenses alcohol or hand sanitizer with a single button press. The trunk is where the sanitizer comes out, from the belly where the liquid material is contained. This thing is sustainable as it is made from old, upcycled materials. The result is a creative reuse of wood into something that is useful, functional, and beautiful at the same time.

Aliya Hand Sanitiser Dispenser Details

The Aliya features a light that turns white while in operation. It turns red when the bottle is empty. There are hangers within the aluminum frame for proper weight distribution. There’s also enough space to conceal or wall-mount the unit. The designer used bentwood curvature, as well as, an aluminum skeleton for additional strength. Inside, a reused refill bottle is found, while the interior lining boasts a great-looking finish.

This sanitizing coat rack is a pandemic-era design that will be a part of the restaurant’s new normal

Posted on by

Whether it be to the grocery store or the library, when I leave the house nowadays, you won’t catch me without my hand sanitizer. No matter how little room I have in my pockets, I won’t leave the house without it. However, most stores are installing hand sanitizing stations in their storefronts in order to encourage sanitary browsing. Typically these stations come in the form of an old, previously discarded working desk with a handwritten note taped on the front that reads a friendly, health code reminder to use the available hand sanitizer before entering the store’s sales floor.

Retail establishments were quick to install their own hand sanitizing stations to their storefronts, but for some, the makeshift health posts end up looking less than sanitary and more like worn-down gatekeepers whose only purpose is to enforce clean shopping. Mexico City-based NOS Design understood how design plays a major role in making this essential health precaution feel a little more inviting, so they teamed up with Trusty Tower to design a sanitizing coat rack that fuses functionality with necessity and looks more familiar and less like an unfortunate sign of the times. Their sanitizing coat rack based on a conventional, average-sized metal tube that’s bent at its top so that bottles of hand sanitizers can be placed at an angle. Just below the metal tube’s bend, a short rod insert holds the hand sanitizer in place, allowing the bottle to be pumped at an angle by pressing the coat rack’s top lid.

Additionally, NOS Design attached four hooks for different items like outerwear, purses, or some trendy mask cases. I know when I enter the stores that require hand sanitizing before browsing, it usually takes a minute for me to set all that I’m carrying down before I can sanitize, and even afterward, gathering all my belongings takes more time than necessary. NOS Design cuts that time in half by assembling a means to sanitize and providing an easy hanging spot for all of your belongings at the same time. Hopefully, since responsible shopping in the age of COVID-19 is so important, with designs like this one, sanitizing your hands won’t feel like such a hassle before you can resume regular (pre-Corona) programming (shopping).

Electrolux + UID design students create a hallway shelf that sanitizes your phone and hands

Posted on by

Created as a collaborative effort between Electrolux and the students at Umeå Institute of Design to think about post-Covid-19 home solutions, the Muhō is the ultimate hallway sanitization-station, working to disinfect your hands as well as devices. Located at the very entrance of your house, the Muhō allows you to instantly kill any potential germs that may piggy-back into your house by getting on your hands or your devices. The sanitization-station comes with 3 UV-C light-enabled shelves to place items like your keys, phone, wallet, or sunglasses on. A contact-sensor activates the UV-C light mere seconds after you place your object on it, allowing it to kill any bacteria or viruses by breaking down their DNA. The lowest shelf also has a hands-free sanitizer dispenser built in, allowing you to quickly spritz your hands with sanitizer before you enter the house.

The Muhō envisions a new type of furniture for homes that goes above and beyond to keep your life organized, but keep you safe too. The combination of UV light and hand-sanitizer effectively cover most bases, making sure germs don’t thrive on you or items you frequently touch. To add an extra flair of functionality, the Muhō even comes with a smart-mirror that, apart from showing you how dapper you look, gives you timely updates like time temperature and weather updates… so you know whether you need to carry sunscreen or an umbrella on your way out!

Designers: Stijn van Cuijk, Jakob Kohnle and Laurenz Simonis (Umeå Institute of Design) in collaboration with Electrolux

A smart sanitizer for your phone +hand is a must have for every home entryway!

Hygiene in the age of COVID-19 has become instinctual for many of us. Once we get home, before even removing our masks, we’re folded over the bathroom sink, hands sudsy with soap, counting down from thirty. We graze the sink’s faucet with unwashed fingers and send that one text without sanitizing our touchscreens. Of course, when it comes to hygiene routines, no one can be perfect – especially during a global pandemic. That’s okay – it’s the reason sanitizing products exist and the catalyst for ZERO from Jung Yu Jung with Design Dot, a design team based in Seoul, South Korea. Conceptualized to resemble the view of the moon from behind rows of window shutters, this home sanitizing station makes it that much easier to stay on top of both our own and our home hygiene.

ZERO is a smart sterilization product that can mount from any wall and direction. Its accurate and responsive dispenser not only motion-detects and sanitizes your hands with six UV-C LED chips, but it also includes a smartphone sterilizer. Based on the honest need for home sanitizing technology, Jung Yi Jung created the product with human instinct in mind. From each angle, the product is pleasantly inconspicuous and elegant. Upon first glance, the sterilizer appears like any unassuming and ordinary home appliance. However, along the rim of the device, a rectangular slot reveals a supplementary sanitizer that swallows your phone for a good ole’ UV-C LED cleaning. Its stainless steel construction increases light reflection and sterilizes your phone for safe use before coughing it back up. In order to enhance the product’s intuitive design, you’ll find only four buttons: two sound control switches for programmed signals, an adjustive mood light, and a power button. Additionally, ZERO charges with a type-c cable, a common mobile phone charging port, delivering seamless setup and service.

Around the world, we’re taking big strides towards a generally health-conscious future, specifically in regard to home design and technology. Home is our oasis, our clean corner of the world we want to keep that way. Intuitive design and practical function from ZERO offers an idea of what a healthier, more human future could look like, in your own clean corner of the world.

This wearable belt-bottle makes it easy to carry hand sanitizer with you wherever you go

Posted on by

Whether it’s the hand-sanitizer you bought from Walgreens or Amazon, or the hand-sanitizer you made from scratch at home with aloe-vera and isopropyl alcohol, storing the liquid is almost always an afterthought. You see, if and when your hands have germs on them, the last thing you want to do us use both your hands to take a bottle out of your backpack, fumble with the cap, and THEN spray the sanitizer on your hands. When you actively need to touch multiple objects in the very process of sanitizing your hands, you’re actively (and constantly) leaving germs on those areas. The most effective way to sanitize hands is to touch as fewer surfaces as you can in the endeavor. Makes sense, right?

Designed almost like a holster for your hand-sanitizer, Go.C is a neat, ergonomic bottle that’s easy to carry, easy to use, and has one very clear mission statement – swift-action sanitization. Designed to be clipped to your pants (or your belt), the Go.C lets you press a trigger to deploy a spray of sanitizer. No using two hands, fumbling with bottle caps, and potentially losing bottle caps in the process. The Go.C sits in a place that’s easy to access with a single motion, and you’re just one-button press away from sanitization. In fact, the process is so intuitive and easy you could do it with one hand, pressing with your thumb and having the sanitizer spray on the rest of your fingers.

The Go.C bottle comes constructed from recycled, non-toxic plastic (so you’re saving the earth too), and uses a hypoallergenic silicone trigger that lets you deploy sanitizer with a push. Its overall simple ergonomic form lets you grip it easily and comfortably and push the trigger without any hassle. Combine that with the belt-clip on the other side of the bottle and you’ve got yourself a hand-sanitizer that takes literally one step to use, so you aren’t touching pockets, zips, bottle caps, and a bunch of other surfaces in the process. Besides, the Go.C isn’t designed to be single-use either. You can easily refill the bottle multiple times from an inlet at the back, helping you save money and safeguard your health well beyond the pandemic!

Go.C – Personal Wearable Hand Sanitizer

The Go.C is a new contraption that allows you to hang your hand sanitizer directly at your beltline. Within the Go.C Sanitizer container, you’ll find a refillable tank of sanitizer that connects to a spraying device.

When you press the silicone button with your thumb, the Go.C Sanitizer will spray the optimal amount of sanitizer right into your palm, thereby letting you distribute sanitizer in an easy and efficient way while still avoiding any possibility of contamination.

Keep your Go.C within reach – attach Go.C to your belt, pocket, or bag for fast and efficient hygiene, and protection.

The ergonomic design allows for one-hand use – no juggling caps and bottles between hands.

The Go.C Sanitizer is completely carry-on friendly, with a capacity of 1.12 oz of liquid in comparison to airport regulations of 2 oz.

Spiderman-inspired wearable sanitizer that gives you the great power to remain safe

Posted on by

Take it from your friendly neighborhood heroes (your healthcare workers) that sanitizing your hands and wearing a mask is crucial when you step out. Masks were a fashion accessory even before the pandemic, so everyone adopted wearing it a lot faster than the habit of sanitizing. Most of the time we forget we touched something in shared public places and our hand goes straight to our face – yikes! To make sanitizing easier, especially when we are outdoors, a designer has created this conceptual Spiderman-inspired wearable sanitizer that lets you be a discreet hero without a bodysuit.

The designer wanted to solve the behavioral perception and usage when it came to traditional sanitizer bottles. He wanted to create something that was innovative, ergonomic, easy to carry, and made it hassle-free to sanitize frequently when you go outside. I, for one, do get lazy if I have to constantly remove the bottle from my backpack when I am carrying groceries in my hand and a wearable sanitizer would truly be a blessing. The smartwatch-shaped personal gadget has a refillable container for the sanitizer liquid and will dispense it with a simple press. We can’t wait to see this concept sketched out with more details.

Its shape is simple and unobtrusive if you have to wear it daily. You can mount it on a wristband or even attach to your watch/fitness trackers – the power is literally in your hands, and you already know that with great power comes great responsibility.

Your hand sanitizer may have 60% alcohol but is it carbon negative?

Posted on by

I have never really paid attention to the ingredients of a hand sanitizer before the pandemic which taught me that the Bodyworks glitter ones really won’t help and I have to look for ones that have 60% alcohol or above. Obviously, the AIs of the worldwide web picked up on my searches and I ‘came across’ the world’s first carbon-negative hand sanitizer made by New York-based start-up, Air Co. I am all about sustainable living and a carbon-negative sanitizer was exactly what I needed to replace the glitter.

The pandemic caused an exponential increase in the demand for sanitizers, and in a bid to help health professionals as well as every regular person, all the alcohol brands switched from making their usual products to making sanitizers. Air Co. actually made the world’s first carbon-negative vodka by using captured CO2 instead of yeast to make alcohol and now it is following suit by switching from vodka to sanitizers but, their method still remains the same – sustainable distillation + innovative technology that removes CO2 from the air and replaces it with oxygen. They use the CO2 emitted from nearby factories, mix it with water during their production process and then distill it, all using solar energy. “It is inspired by photosynthesis in nature, where plants breathe in CO2, take up water, and they use sunlight to make things like sugars and other higher-value hydrocarbons, with oxygen as the sole by-product. Same thing with our process: The only by-product is oxygen,” says  Stafford Sheehan, one of the cofounders of Air Co.

The Air Co. sanitizer is 70% ethanol (their technology’s main output) and they are working with local officials to donate these bottles to the institutions that need it the most. Their actions reflect the brand’s two-part tagline – Almost impossible. Goods that do good. Air Co’s sanitizer is one-of-a-kind because of its undeniable benefit to the environment and positive impact that ripples beyond just keeping us virus-free. The brand is proud of using scientific methods to design products that would leave a lasting impression on people, be it their gluten-free, sugar-free, impurities-free, carbon-negative vodka or their hand sanitizer which is also crafted from the same air. Check out the running ticker of how much CO2 they have removed from the atmosphere – it is PRETTY impressive!

Angry Birds Hand Sanitizer (hands-on)

Listen, when you work hard (and play hard) the way we do, your hands are going to get dirty from time to time. In fact, if we've got one piece of advice for frequent trade show attendees, it would be: wash your hands. A lot. Of course, a clean water source isn't always waiting for you between booths -- when that happens, there's no beating a well-placed bottle of hand sanitizer. But while the likes of Purell and its ilk have traditionally done the trick, we've always longed for a solution that could combine our sanitization obsessions with our passion for casual gaming. That wait, mercifully, is now over, thanks to a groundbreaking partnership between the fowl flingers at Rovio and those Ph.D.s in oral care products (the Firefly Hello Kitty toothbrush, anyone?): Dr. Fresh.

Part of the industry-leading Infectiguard Kids line, Angry Birds Hand Sanitizer offers a slim and slick profile, perfect for tiny hands. The twist-off lid is located at the bottom of the bottle, pointing in a downward orientation when positioned as intended. The whole thing is supported by a carabiner laced through a loop in the top of the skinny bottle, so the sanitizer can be suspended from a backpack, messenger bag or other carrying case for easy access to its cleansing contents. And at 1.8 fluid ounces, the whole thing comes in well under the TSA's carry-on liquid restrictions.
