Sunday, 13 September 2026

Qi2

Qi2 is a modular water purifier designed for household use. The design is inspired by an array of bricks. Each filter cartridge forms part of the purifier body, so the combined cartridges create the complete unit. Users can select from one to five cartridges, including polypropylene, active carbon, ultraviolet, ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis types. Cartridges can be added, reduced or replaced with a simple tool. The waterway is replaced together with each cartridge, so the water path stays clean.

Happy Water

Happy Water is a humidifier for indoor use. The switch is a magnetic ball that floats above the body, so the humidifier is turned on by placing the ball in position. A current sensor detects the change in the magnetic circuit and creates the on and off signals. Water is turned into mist by ultrasonic atomization, and a built-in ultraviolet lamp disinfects the water. The tank holds 4 liters and can work for about ten hours. The form is based on water and the moon, two elements of traditional Chinese culture.

Ace xl is a semi-automatic twin tub washing machine. Ace xl has two tubs, one for washing and one for spin drying, each with its own lid.

Visible wheels allow the machine to be moved easily inside small homes. The body is made entirely of plastic, so it is rust free and easy to clean. Tinted transparent lids with chrome finished touch points complete the form.
