Cloudy Mountain / Humidifier

Humidifier resembling a 'Cloudy Mountain'
‘Cloudy Mountain’ where the humid wind blows. Borrowed the shape of Cloudy Mountain to constitute the story of moist wind blowing from the humidifier. A transparent fluidic fan resembling a cloud lightly floats above a minimal cylindrical structure that looks like a mountain and rotates slowly to spread the moist air. This novel design further simplifies the internal structure, making it significantly easier and better to clean the device.

Beginning from the idea to ‘make no water stalled’ to the inside
Water stalled in a narrow and complex passage of humidifier spreads germs quickly. By reinterpreting the internal structure, areas where the water remained were eliminated or minimized. For instance, ① the fan was relocated to the outside to simplify the complex internal structure, and ② a new heating-based humidification approach was adopted to simplify the inside of humidifier.

Cloudy Mountain
Used the storytelling of wind and mountain to depict the humidifier in an attempt to increase intuitive visuality of ‘blowing humid wind’. Users can intuitively recognize the humidity ratio while observing the gently changing speed of rotating fan that is lightly floating above the mountain shaped body. AI gently adjusts the rotating speed of fan by itself to control the indoor humidity.
'Air Cooling Engine' reducing the temperature of hot steam
One of the weakest points of existing heat-based humidifier was the danger of burn due to hot steam. In an effort to solve this problem, the ‘Air Cooling Engine’ applies a unique technique of SK magic that lowers the steam temperature by rotating both fan (of the outside) and steam outlet (of the inside) altogether. Hot steam is promptly neutralized after colliding with the rotating cold air and discharged to the outside, and it spreads widely with the help of external fan.

Humidifier taking caring of the 'environment for next generation'
As a part of SK Magic brand strategies not to cause any damages to the environment, efforts were made to increase the benefits and details of each material based on the study of the processing characteristics with the properties of materials to avoid spray treatment. In addition, eco-friendly recycled plastics that can be biodegraded in landfills are applied to develop a product that takes care of the environment for next generation.
'Easy to clean' humidifier with the reinterpretation of its internal structure
Water provides an environment that is the most vulnerable to the spread of germs. To help users clean the humidifier easily, parts are moved or eliminated by reinterpreting its complex internal structure, which was previously considered as the biggest problem. The fan attached to the inside was relocated to the outside, making it easy to separate and clean the component. Also, shifting to the heating-based humidification approach contributed to simplifying its complex internal structure.
