fuseproject Breathes Fresh Air Into the Coway Airmega Icon
fuseproject's Airmega Icon air purifier for Coway is a breath of fresh air that doubles up as a side table with a wireless charging top.
Beyond being represented by the biggest musical act in the world, Korean home-health technology company Coway is equally known for their home appliances ? air purifiers, water purifiers, and bidets ? each designed to blend into the home with a higher attention to their form as their function. Coway’s latest Airmega Icon air purifier designed in partnership with Yves Béhar’s fuseproject is an example of the brand’s exploration of designing objects meant to openly live within a space without detracting or distraction, with the addition of some unexpected utility.
Beyond it’s decor-friendly design, the Airmega Icon’s 3-stage air purification system makes it an ideal living room device and rated for 649 square feet of coverage, capable of removing 99.999% of ultra-fine particles down to 0.01 microns, which is smaller than most bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, and pollen.
Hyun Joo Song, head of Coway?s design center, describes the design as “eye candy” versus “an eyesore,” intentionally designed from the start to maximize the air filtering capabilities by welcoming an open air placement.
?We were inspired by design ethos commonly applied to furniture, and set out to create a model that improves health, but also serves as a beautiful and practical showpiece,? explained fuseproject...
