Pollen… bacteria… dust mite feces. Gag. But you’re super clean, so not in your house right?! Think again. These micro-sized particles are everywhere from your bed and couch to your clothes. But just because they’re not visible doesn’t mean you can’t clean them!

Introducing, the RAYCOP Purifier. This convenient hand-operated appliances utilizes a combination of product features including a pulsating pad, UV light sanitizer and suction to efficiently sanitize fabric surfaces. Additionally, the dual filtration system incorporating a dust box filter along with a HEPA filter captures over 99% of common allergens like dust, pollen and mold while the UV light deactivates the DNA in dust mites, bacteria, pollen, mold, and mildew.

Get it here!

Press Play for Fresh

Speakers have come a long way from being a big, bulky, black box stuffed in the corner of a room. These days, a well-designed speaker can even enhance a room’s aesthetic. That being said… this is NOT a speaker!

It’s called MINI and it’s actually an indoor air cleaning system… but it does follow in the footsteps of speaker design both aesthetically and functionally! Specifically, surround sound. Depending on the size of your space and your air quality, MINI cleaners can be connected and controlled together via your smartphone or other device. This way, each room in your home is guaranteed to have safe, equally clean air. Each is also equipped with a number of sensors that can relay real-time air quality data directly to your controlling device.

Watch Your Water

Posted on by

There’s nothing quite like the visual and taste of fresh, falling, natural spring water. For urban dwellers, this is almost mere fantasy, but the Super-S Water Purifier aims to replicate the experience in a convenient appliance that fits in any home or apartment. The design’s visible water flow is reminiscent of naturally flowing water and allows users to ensure the device is clean. Its slim profile is made possible by a tankless system that saves counter-space and is more hygienic than others with a reservoir. Better yet, the smart design can be operated conveniently via the user’s smartphone to fill, cool or heat remotely as well as monitor water quality.

A new dispensing experience

Posted on by

super_s_purifier_1

Most water purifiers focus on technology, and a form that complements it, while looking advanced and fresh. The Super S water purifier does that, but also focuses on the interaction one has with the purifier. Not many people focus on this interaction because their prime concern is to get fresh purified water. However, a product with a good experience goes miles in becoming iconic, and setting standards for the society (look at the iPod or the Nest).

The Super S comes with a back-lit dispenser button that tells you what you need to know about the water by shining in four different colors. Blue and red for cold and hot water respectively, green for purified water, and orange for baby-safe water (which is temperature regulated, contains more minerals, etc.) The purifier even features a dispenser button for children, located on the lower side of the device, so that kids can easily access it. Clever, don’t you think?

Air that’s perfect to breathe

Posted on by

air_washer_1

Writing about design can sometimes teach you a couple of things. For instance, today’s product is something I’ve encountered for the first time. An Air Washer. Air washers (from what I read up) are basically humidifiers, but they work as dehumidifiers too, and they also purify the air you breathe. Usually placed as a 2-in-1 solution, an Air Washer is perfect for situations where air purity and climate control are paramount.

The Air Washer designed by Dongwook Yoon and Junyoung Hong aims at making a sculpture out of the appliance, given its niche market. Made to fit into the house it belongs in, the product goes for a geometric style, going for a shape that’s a cross between an ellipsoid and a cuboid. The controls on the top are minimal and display-centric. A secondary display on the white body comes alive too, allowing you to know the temperature/humidity level just in case the upper display is out of sight.

I personally love a few of the design choices. The secondary screen shining through the plastic adds quite a wow-element. The overall design does (to me) resemble a laundry hamper, but that’s something I’m willing to overlook, given how clean the product looks otherwise. After all, that’s what a purifier SHOULD embody, right? Cleanliness.

Play and Purify

Posted on by

Among the 2015 Electrolux Design Lab finalists, João André Ozório’s Purity Ball is not only an object of desire for children, but a functional way to clean the air while playing. As the ball moves, nuisance particles are captured by micro-filters and removed from the surrounding air. The more kids play, the cleaner the air becomes!

Follow-Me Purifier

Posted on by

The Zephyros strays away from the typical stationary design of other air purifier appliances which only target areas in a single direction. Instead, it features a rotating top half that emits purified air in 360° in addition to the stationary bottom half. To take it a step further, the design features an integrated camera with motion sensor that detects the location of the user, triggering the device to turn in that direction, ensuring that users receive the best air quality at all times.

Sculpted Air

Posted on by

The Stimulated Kinetic Branch is a modular air purifier that is functional art as well. Love it for its modularity and sustainable focus. The installation works well both indoors and outdoors, you can connect branches together and help create a better environment. This is how it works: the branches detect vibrations from wind and harness the energy from there. The installation is capable of sifting out dust particles through the heavy-duty air filter. The touch-sensitive sensors activate in a jiffy to cleanse the environment.

Stimulated Kinetic Branch is a 2014 Top 100 Electrolux Design Lab shortlisted entry, you can vote for this or any other project here. Voting closes on May 16th 2014.

Air Purifier Bike: Ride a Bike, Clean the Air, Save the Planet

Air Purifying Bike

Cycling is the environmentally-friendly way to travel. It doesn’t require fuel, it doesn’t produce emissions that contribute to greenhouse gases, and it doesn’t require electricity (which is produced by burning coal.) Taking bicycles one step further is the team from Lightfog Creative and Design with the Air Purifier Bike.

Not only does it come with all the usual benefits of riding a bike, but it also comes with a built-in air purification system. It’s a neat idea, but the specifics that the team provided with regards to the system is mind-boggling, though.

Air Purifying Bike1

For one, the designers explain that it uses a photosynthesis system to transform carbon dioxide into oxygen. As far as I know, only plants are capable of doing that, and unless they can back their machinery up with scientific data, then they definitely lose a lot of points there.

Air-Purifier Bike incorporates an air filter that screens dust and pollutants from the air, a photosynthesis system (including a water tank) that produces oxygen, an electric motor, and a battery. While it is being ridden, air passes through the filter at the front of the bike, where it is cleaned before being released toward cyclist.

Even if they did come up with such a system, can the battery really provide the power to keep the reaction going? A bike with built-in conventional filtration systems sounds good enough to me.

What do you think?
