Designer Seunghyeon Kim is the creative mind behind the new handheld vacuum design concept from Focus Studio. It is a small structure with an artful angle, appearing as a decorative object for the home but actually turning into a mood lamp to use at a desk and create a light form of ambiance.
It also works as an Ikebana vase, which is able to hold a single and delicate flower stem. Boasting various functions, it is made to be suitable in small living confinements in a sleek and beautiful way. The design aims to blend inspirations of nature and a sprout-like curve as it rises from the base and curves carefully in a smooth way without compromising its practicality.
