Parametric Air Purifier
Context
Air quality is crucial for our health. While many air purifiers are available, they often stand out as machines rather than blending seamlessly into the home, usually being placed in corners to avoid drawing attention.
Approach
Design an air purifier that combines functionality with aesthetic appeal, encouraging users to place it centrally in their homes.

Parametric design
Ideation
Ideated around organic forms that could act as a base for a parametric fan design.
CMF
After some ideation, a base cylindrical form seemed the best fit to add the parametric design. The organic shape of airflow is communicated through this design.
