Explored early architecture options by evaluating the spatial and visual impact of two extruded forms.
Explored a monolithic architecture using a single vertically sliced extrusion. Comparing a soft pill form to an elongated superellipse to study silhouette clarity, front-facing expression, and volume perception.
Testing a tall, slender tank versus a shorter, wider configuration to balance capacity with aesthetic proportion.
Form Architecture Exploration: Investigating a range of volumetric layouts—from dual-body configurations to single extruded forms—to define a visual language that balances proportion, presence, and usability.
A single, softly extruded volume expresses both purity and performance. The top third features a glossy black interface zone where the light-based UI elements shine through, dynamically communicating air quality and humidity levels. The water tank is offset to the right for visual balance and intuitive water level feedback, with a hinged handle that lifts cleanly for effortless refilling.

UI Behavior Simulation
Demonstrates real-time feedback for air quality and humidity through responsive lighting and segmented displays.

This animation simulates the user experience of the device’s interface in motion. An arc of light above the UI indicates air quality—shifting from red (poor), to amber (fair), to blue (clean). Below, a white arc visualizes humidity, rising like a filling vessel as the room's moisture increases. When both air quality and humidity reach ideal levels, the arcs merge into a continuous blue ring, creating a pill-shaped halo that signifies optimal conditions. Two segmented displays inside the ring provide precise numeric feedback: air purity from 0% to 100%, and relative humidity below.
Spatial Footprint Exploration (Below): Investigating the relationship between object width and room presence—contrasting low profile, wall hugging forms with deeper, narrower volumes to balance spatial integration, usability, and visual impact.
Geometric Air Intake
Viewed from the back, the air intake transforms into a sculptural element—merging function and form through a precise, repeating geometry that elevates the technical surface into a visual statement.

CMF Exploration
Investigated material, finish, and color strategies to balance visual warmth with technological clarity—aligning the product’s tactile presence and tonal palette with its role in wellness and air care. Focused on contrast, light interplay, and texture to create a sense of purity, approachability, and modernity in the home environment.
