They are a constant reminder of the expert job that they're doing to keep your interior conditions optimal for respiratory health. The exquisite little pom-poms are like magnified spherical snowflakes, impossibly lightweight and impressively engineered. They act as [effective air purifiers and air filters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hushjet-compact-purifier) that remain hovering to maintain the freshness of indoor environments. If that benefit to these [beautiful decorative doodads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woop-air-purifier) wasn't enough, designer Jan Ankiersztajn incorporated another feature. During the day, each Electrolux Aeroball absorbs the light around it, only to gently exude it as a soft firefly-like glow at night. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Floating Air Purifiers:** Designing air filters to be more aesthetically pleasing and functional. - **Smart Lighting:** Integrating lighting features into functional objects for added consumer value. - **Wireless Power Systems:** Creating wireless systems to power floating air filters. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Incorporating design and aesthetics into functional household items. - **Health and Wellness:** Developing products to promote healthy indoor air quality. - **Consumer Electronics:** Designing innovative electronics that incorporate both function and aesthetics. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hanging Pendant-Style Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abell-air-purifier.md) - [Circular Minimalist Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iqair-atem-x.md) - [Ambient Illumination Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-purifier-concept.md) - [Drone-Equipped Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultro-air-purification-system.md) - [Light-Integrated Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airglow.md) - [Artistic Minimalism Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeroview-air-purifier.md) - [Dynamic Air-Purifying Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vox-aeris.md) - [Autonomous Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mito-air-purifier.md) - [Table-Type Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aero-furniture.md)
