Household Air Purifier Appearance Design And Innovation

Indoor air quality of environment in daily life and work is critical to people’shealth. In recent years, all kinds of poisonous decoration materials enter tenementsand offices, which bring about rising incidence of air-related diseases. Sick buildingsyndrome (SBS) was defined by WHO as the situation of people who complained ofacute nonspecific syndromes in nonindustrial zone was improved when they left thebuilding in1982. The possible reasons maybe include:(1) indoor source of pollution;(2) higher gas tightness of modern building;(3) longer indoor time. Air quality hasbeen a topic of hot debate from2012, especially after the Fukushima nuclear leak andwith the population of PM2.5.As a common consumer, using air cleaner is an effective pathway to improveindoor air quality. According to national related standards of air cleaner, it is a deviceto separate or remove one or a few kings of contaminants from air, mainly referring tounit air cleaner or modular one in ventilation system of central air conditioning, whichis widely used in household, medical or industrial areas. The device is designed todissolve release persistence and uncertainty of air containments which isinternationally recognized as effective. With rapid deterioration of domestic airquality, the sudden rocketing air cleaner market attracts international manufacturersmarching into China. It is emergent for domestic brand to meet and win the challengein the competing feast, and there is no doubt that appearance design shares highlight.Appearance design is a media to reflect product design ideology, a coat to realizeproduct function. Walter Gropius stressed that industrial design is the harmoniousunification of process, technology and the arts. But according to my opinion,industrial design is the harmonious unification of process, technology, the arts andspirit. Appearance design demand not only realization of use function but also exactexpression of the inner spirit and cultural semantics. There are no developed countrieswhich don’t integrate the industry competitive advantages through modern design. The commodity competition almost equals to the design competition based on thesame manufacturing level.The paper comprehensively analyzed the industry overview and market outlookof air cleaner, and indicated the necessity and urgency of its appearance design.Mainstream appearance designs were scientifically evaluated on the base of the casestudy, technic factors such as function, material and structure, and aesthetic theory ofindustrial design. Thus development trend of appearance design of household aircleaner in future was concluded to look for a new breakpoint for domestic brands inappearance design.
