The hair dryer concept features a minimalistic design that looks and feels like a pebble to ensure it's able to be thrown in your purse or luggage when you're leaving the house. This ensures you'll always have the right equipment on hand when you're trying to look your best.
The 'Pebble' hair dryer is the design work of Seongkyeong Son and Sungwoo Park, and identifies the need for more streamlined, portable versions of existing home appliances.
