Unique Properties: Potpourri is a natural aromatherapy humidifier combined with flowers. Water and humidify flowers through the humidifier. When the humidifier works, natural flowers will be accompanied by flowers, which can achieve the dual effect of humidification and aromatherapy. Potpourri uses transparent acrylic cover material to prevent the plants from being damaged while receiving natural light. It can also create a relatively closed space for flower plants, thus achieving partial water circulation.
Dimensions & Packaging: 200mm x 200mm x 320mm
Tags: Natural, healthy, Humidifier
Production Technology: Potpourri uses ultrasonic humidification and high-frequency ultrasonic shock to turn water mist into ultrafine particles. The water mist can also be diffused into the air along with the oil cells in the petals, which can freshen the air, improve health and create a comfortable environment. Potpourri chooses transparent acrylic cover as the external protection material, which does not hinder the lighting of flowers, but also plays the role of protecting flowers, and can form an independent circulation system.
Design Challenge: The focus of this design project is to add a function that meets the needs of modern people for humidifier, and the increase of aromatherapy function is the design focus of this project. The difficulty of this design project is to implant the flowers perfectly into the humidifier. When the humidifier works, it is necessary to achieve the planting environment of the flowers and perfectly diffuse the oil molecules in the petals into the air.
Research: The fast pace of life makes people pursue a healthier and more close to the natural living environment. As a small household appliance commonly used by modern people, humidifier brings users a healthy living environment, but also needs to create a more close to the natural environment. Potpourri humidifier combines flowers to humidify users and create a suitable ecological environment for breeding flowers. The fragrance of flowers will be diffused along with the work of the humidifier, thus creating a healthier and natural environment for users.
Inspiration: People are more yearning for a natural and healthy living environment, and the demand for humidifiers also increases. Most of the humidifiers on the market are difficult to achieve natural and healthy aromatherapy effect, and floral fragrance is often the most natural real fragrance. Organic combination of pot and humidifier, in the process of humidification, can meet the cultivation environment of flowers, flowers blooming aroma mixed with the humidifier released moisture in the face.
