Design Details
- Unique Properties
- It has the dual functions of lighting and purifying space. The middle barrel part of the air purifier is used as a purification device, so that fresh air can be delivered to every corner of the home 360 degrees without dead ends. The addition of lighting functions changes the traditional floor placement method to a ceiling suspension. The natural combination of the two forms a new product form. Smart home products have formed an integrated design trend.
- Inspiration
- In modern culture, the open space combination of kitchen, dining room and living room has become a favorite home environment. Therefore, the air purification of the space environment is very important. The combined design of lights and air purifiers reduces the use of actual space. The use of space on the ceiling, the combination of purification devices and lamps make the space layout more rational.
- Research
- In the context of the boom in smart homes, the product design reference is analyzed by analyzing the design trends and development directions of well known international household appliance brands. Its research utilizes the principle of integrated innovation for design integration. Investigate the housing conditions and decoration styles of young and middle aged people in China. The integrated method makes the collection of lamps and air purifiers more suitable, which is more in line with the future living environment of young people.
- Challenge
- Integration has many challenges in creative research. For example, different home types and layouts and decoration styles in the home environment are difficult to meet multiple needs. It is difficult to design a satisfactory product due to regional cultural differences, so I use a universal design approach to try to adapt to the needs of individual selection. The competitiveness of the products in the market is guaranteed as much as possible and the problem of energy conservation must be considered.
- Realization and Technology
- This design uses the existing manufacturing process technology and touch key intelligent control module for technical support.Integrate innovation theory and smart home concept for this integrated design. ABS and stainless steel are the main materials used in this design. In addition, 3D printing technology explores time in the creation of grass models.
- Operation and Interaction
- Its operation mode is very simple, and all operations can be completed through a button with light display.Red, orange and green light display to indicate off, light on and air purifier on three modes. The mechanical button indicates the on state by the number of times and the length of time. For example, press once to turn on the light, double tap to turn on the light, and long press to turn off the system.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in Shenyang in October 2019 and was completed in Shenyang in February 2020.
