Hi-Tech Atmosphere Improvers

The Electrolux Mushroom Contributes Filters and Infuses Indoor Spaces

— October 14, 2013 — Art & Design
A great many people would probably much rather be somewhere other than where they currently are -- perhaps on the beach, in the jungle or in the mountains. The Electrolux Mushroom is not a teleportation device; however, it has the power to alter your surroundings in more subtle ways so that you'll experience some form of escape.

The cutting-edge concept gadget gets mounted on your ceiling while the touchscreen control panel remains within reach. Thanut Chaovakul's idea is to enable the user to employ scent cartridges that will mimic the aromas of different places around the world. Chose your preferred fragrance and combine that with lighting effects, humidity and temperature, and the Electrolux Mushroom will transport your senses away. The device even functions as an air purifier and has five different modes for use at different times of the day.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Home Atmosphere Devices - The market for smart home devices that can help create a more personalized and immersive indoor experience is on the rise.
2. Multi-functional Indoor Air Purifiers - There is a growing demand for air purifiers that can not only filter out pollutants but also have additional features like fragrance diffusion and climate control.
3. Virtual Travel Accessories - As people continue to prioritize travel experiences, there is a potential for virtual travel accessories like the Electrolux Mushroom to become more popular and mainstream.
Industry Implications
1. Smart Home Industry - The smart home industry can leverage the rising demand for personalized indoor experiences by developing new atmosphere devices that cater to different preferences and needs.
2. Indoor Air Quality Industry - The indoor air quality industry can explore new ways to combine air purification technology with additional features like fragrance diffusion, lighting effects, and climate control.
3. Travel Accessories Industry - The travel accessories industry can tap into the growing interest in virtual travel experiences by creating innovative products like the Electrolux Mushroom that can mimic different sceneries and environments.
