Lamp-Like Fireplaces

The Purion_Ion Air Purifier Enlightens Spaces with Warmth and Clean Air

— November 20, 2013 — Unique
Without an explanation, you might be curious about the function of the Purion_Ion. It rather looks like an unusually low floor lamp, it emits heat like a hearth and it contains a few removable components that don't appear to be attached in any way.

Wongyung Lee's concept is for a contemporary fireplace that's inspired by the traditional Korean Agungi stove. Like the original, this one contains a small pocket with sticks inside, but instead of being wooden, these are electronic. The three stick ionizers charge in the big base wirelessly and they can be carried to any room that requires warmth and air freshening. All four elements of the Purion_Ion emit negative ions to eliminate unwanted particles, all the while keeping the inhabitants of the home nice and toasty.
Trend Themes
1. Electronic Fireplaces - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop electronic fireplaces that combine heat and air purifying capabilities for a modern and efficient alternative to traditional fireplaces.
2. Wireless Heating Solutions - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create wireless heating solutions that can be easily moved to provide warmth in any room while also purifying the air.
3. Negative Ion Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of negative ion technology to remove unwanted particles from the air while also providing heat and warmth.
Industry Implications
1. Home Appliance - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate ionizing technology in home appliances, such as heaters, to provide both heating and air purification functions.
2. Interior Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate stylish electronic fireplaces with air purifying capabilities into interior design trends for modern and functional spaces.
3. Air Purification - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine negative ion technology with air purification systems to create more effective and efficient devices for removing pollutants from indoor air.
