CHALLENGE
Design an appliance that solves a problem for homes in cities. The selected user for this project was a person who suffers from dust allergy and lives in an apartment in Medellín City.
Solution
SAM, is an air curtain that minimizes the entry of dust into the home using polypropylene filters, an ionizer, and an air barrier, which at the same time, keeps the space ventilated and offers the advantages of a regular curtain.
Ideal for urban dwellings that tend to be more prone to the entry of harmful dust particles through the windows due to high traffic flow and environmental pollution.
The aim is that the product blends in with the space and adapts to the home environment naturally, as the space that is being used is where the curtains of the house would normally be located.
SAM has a functional curtain that has an extra function, the texture of the fabric enables to capture the ionized dust particles so that it can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth, improving the cleaning time and performance.
The product includes a control, which allows the user to turn it on and off and regulate the speed of the tangential fan. In addition, the circular indicator located on the external part allows the user to see the air quality, thanks to a color system.
