When you hear ‘humidifier’ you probably don’t think ‘cool’ or ‘amazing modern design.’ That would be understandable. Shin Okada may change that though, with the new Mast Humidifier, pictured in the gallery above.
The Mast Humidifier has a beautiful shape that was designed by Shin Okada and then constructed by Masuya Koubou. The secret behind the Mast Humidifier is Hinoki, or the tree also known as Japanese Cypress. The complexity of the wood—its durability and beauty—makes it the only thing that’s made Mast Humidifier possible.
