The Design
About Serena Luftbefeuchter
Serena ist ein Luftbefeuchter für moderne Wohnräume. Serena erzeugt die Illusion von Wassertropfen, die entgegen der Schwerkraft nach oben fließen. Der Effekt beruht auf dem Prinzip der visuellen Persistenz und wird durch die Synchronisation einer Miniaturwasserpumpe mit dem Stroboskoplicht von LEDs erreicht. Die transparente Hülle besitzt eine hohe Lichtdurchlässigkeit, was den visuellen Effekt verstärkt. Serena ist 478 mm hoch und hat einen Durchmesser von 260 mm. Über einen Touchscreen und ein intelligentes Bedienfeld lassen sich Geschwindigkeit und Helligkeit der aufsteigenden Flüssigkeit einstellen. Serena erhöht die Luftfeuchtigkeit in Innenräumen und dient gleichzeitig als dekoratives Objekt.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- TBased on the principle of visual persistence, the weightless humidifier uses LED lights and precise control to create the illusion of liquid backflow, and the magical effect of water droplets forming the opposite direction, enriching the interactive experience of the humidifier. The product has a practical air humidification function and incorporates artistic design, which is suitable for modern home environments and becomes a unique decoration in the space.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The humidifier measures 478 mm in height and 260 mm in diameter

- weightless humidifier, optical illusion, interesting design, air humidifier, home decor
- Production Technology
- Visual persistence technology creates the illusion of liquid flowing back through the strobe technology of the LED light source. The miniature water pump and precise water flow control ensure perfect synchronization of water flow stability and light efficiency. The transparent material molding process ensures the delicate light transmittance of the shell and enhances the overall visual effect.
- Design Challenge
- The visual illusion is precisely controlled to ensure that the light and water flow are synchronized to avoid errors in the illusion effect. The water pump and LED light are precisely matched to ensure the visual effect while requiring functional humidification. The material selection is combined with aesthetics, and the shell material needs to have a high light transmittance to meet the aesthetics of modern home design.
- Research
- Based on visual phenomena, this study designs and implements a weightless humidifier. By precisely controlling the water flow and the stroboscopic effect of LED lights, it creates a visual illusion of water droplets flowing backwards, which functionally meets the actual needs of air humidification. This study aims to explore the combination of visual art and practical home appliances, and use visual illusion technology to make everyday products interesting and creative.
- Inspiration
- The design is inspired by visual illusion art and the gravity of nature. The design breaks people's cognition of conventional physical phenomena through the backflow of water droplets, creating an artistic effect full of fun and surprises. It takes the phenomenon of visual persistence as the core technology and combines it with the humidification function to bring a new visual experience.
- Project Duration
- It starts on May 1, 2022 and ends on June 25, 2022, and is located at Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts
- Operation Flow
- The loss-in-weight humidifier is easy to operate. Users can adjust the function of the humidifier through the touch screen or the smart control panel. The LED lighting effect is synchronized with the operation of the water pump. Users can set the speed and brightness of the liquid return to create a different visual experience.
