Concept
We've come to an era that takes more care of the inner needs. Who we are therefore becomes an important consideration within the way we live, and the objects we use. So it is always better when a designer inputs an idea in some philosophical way.
I think the fun part of the product design might be a designer brings delightful findings at just the right amount when users live with the product.
When I first saw a bladeless fan at an early age, an eagerness to search where the wind came from triggered my hand to reach the hollow area.
Although the technique may have lost the color of its mystery, I believe the native impulse within the naive us can somehow rebuild the connection between the users and this magical product.
Appearance Strategies
Breeze is the smart bladeless fan concept under the idea.
The overall outline is designed to be simple, yet elegant. The intersection of the ring and the column creates an interesting look. The column shrinks by the bottom making it more like a standing art piece rather than a way-blocking machine.
I intentionally placed the user interface inside that area so that the behavior of the wind can be noticed in real-time when a user interacts with Breeze.
A touch screen shows the current mode, the status, and all the available functions. The values such as wind speed can also be adjusted by the ring surrounding the screen.
The human body sensor can learn the location of people in the room, therefore offering a smarter wind direction composition by rotation.
