If it hadn't been handed to you in the title, what would be your best guess about the function of the Equate Vacuum Cleaner? I strongly doubt that anyone would suspect that it's a household tidying appliance. The innovative device was designed by Rich Park and it was intended to embody an unexpected delight for something so practical.
Often considered a utilitarian object, the hoover is reimagined here as a work of art. Rather than tucking this gadget away in your broom closet, you'd be encouraged to keep it out on display. Its graceful shape would have you feel inclined to do so. A gorgeous high-gloss magnetic cone is the charging stand for the Equate Vacuum Cleaner and the two-sided suction contraption balances on it with perfect poise.
