Air Touch Air Purifier

Air touch Air Purifier is an innovative home appliance design that exemplifies the convergence of user-centric functionality and sophisticated aesthetics in contemporary air purification technology. Developed with a focus on young urban professionals, this sleek device introduces a revolutionary touch-sensitive interface that simplifies operation while maintaining powerful purification capabilities through a triple-filtration system comprising pretage, HEPA, and HiSiv mesh filters. The design's distinctive silhouette draws inspiration from classic runway modeling, featuring cascading water ripple patterns in its air outlet design that not only optimize airflow dynamics but also serve as an artistic element. Standing at 550mm x 209mm x 422mm and weighing 5kg, the purifier incorporates an intelligent panel display system where operational lights double as both decorative elements and real-time air quality indicators. A notable innovation is its telescopic filter replacement mechanism, which allows users to change filters without dismantling the machine casing, while a color-coded system prevents incorrect filter placement. The interface prioritizes user experience through a sliding stepless speed control and concealed filter replacement reminders, complemented by smart features accessible through a dedicated mobile application for remote control and filter management. This design, which earned the Platinum A' Design Award in the Home Appliances Design category, represents a significant advancement in domestic air purification technology, combining practical functionality with contemporary design sensibilities. The project, completed in November 2014, demonstrates exceptional attention to both aesthetic and technical requirements, establishing new standards for user interaction in home appliance design.

Air Touch Air Purifier

Air Touch Air purifier is an innovative home appliance design that seamlessly integrates traditional Chinese artistic elements with modern air purification technology. Designed by Sijin Jiang and team, this sophisticated air purifier represents a significant advancement in visualizing air quality through an aesthetic approach that transforms the functional aspect of air filtration into an interactive visual experience. The device features a unique filtration system that incorporates a pre-filter for larger particles, an H11 class HEPA filter capable of removing 99.97% of PM2.5 particles, and an activated carbon filter for eliminating airborne chemicals and volatile organic compounds. What distinguishes this design is its revolutionary visualization system that displays the accumulation of particulate matter through the gradual transformation of a traditional Chinese landscape painting, effectively communicating filter saturation levels to users. Operating with a Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) of 250 m³/h and maintaining noise levels between 46-60 dB, the Air Touch combines practical functionality with artistic sensibility. The design, which won the Iron A' Design Award in the Home Appliances Design category, showcases exceptional innovation in its approach to user interaction and aesthetic appeal. Its dimensions of 800mm x 620mm x 180mm make it suitable for various residential spaces, while its filter life of up to 3000 hours ensures long-term effectiveness. The design addresses contemporary air quality concerns, particularly relevant in urban environments where PM2.5 pollution poses significant health risks, as validated by recent scientific research linking particulate matter exposure to various physiological effects.
