INTRO
As urban populations grow, air quality continues to decline, leading to serious health risks and contributing to climate change. Prolonged exposure to polluted air is linked to respiratory diseases and other chronic conditions.
In this critical context, improving indoor air quality has become a pressing challenge across domestic, hospitality, and workplace settings.
Design can play a crucial role in addressing this issue by creating solutions that are not only functional and effective, but also sustainable, inclusive, and responsive to the daily needs of people in increasingly dense and polluted urban environments.
BRIEF
Design a self-standing air purifier for flexible use across domestic, hospitality, and office environments.
The product should go beyond technical efficiency to embody sustainable design values—such as the use of recycled and recyclable materials, ethical and low-impact production processes, long-term durability, modularity, and accessibility.
You must give attention to usability, intuitive interaction, and aesthetic integration into different types of interiors.
The purifier should adapt to evolving lifestyles, reflecting diverse user needs and contemporary environmental concerns. Your proposal must include a clear description of its features, target users, design rationale, potential environmental benefits, as well as professional technical drawings and renderings.
