Designed by Juan C Restrepo, the 'Nebula' works by circulating the air, smells and vapors from cooking into the unit. From here, the device does double duty at pushing the air outside the home, but not before [purifying it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mito-air-purifier). This enables the product to operate by [filtering air within the home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airthings-renew) and the air that escapes the home for a more holistic approach. Although conceptual, the 'Nebula' kitchen chimney would no doubt help to increase the overall efficiency and aesthetic of modern living spaces. In the near future, implementations such as these will likely become imperative in condominiums and other condensed living spaces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Air-purifying Range Hoods:** Air-purifying range hoods are becoming popular as many customers look to enhance their indoor air quality. - **Holistic Air Filtration:** Holistic air filtration devices like the 'Nebula' are being designed to purify the air both inside and outside the home. - **Efficient Living Spaces:** Efficient living spaces with innovative air purification technologies like the 'Nebula' are gaining popularity among consumers. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Appliances:** Home appliances companies can leverage the popularity of air-purifying range hoods to increase revenue and market share. - **Real Estate:** Real estate developers can incorporate efficient living spaces with innovative air purification technologies like the 'Nebula' to attract environmentally conscious customers. - **Environmental Technology:** Environmental technology companies can develop and market holistic air filtration devices like the 'Nebula' to capitalize on the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Moveable Kitchen Range Hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airhood.md) - [Mini Kitchen Cooking Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kokir-cooking-curifier.md) - [Connected Kitchen Range Hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ciarra-infinity.md) - [Anti-Pollution Kitchen Innovations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taiwan-sakura.md) - [Storage-Equipped Extractor Hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extractor-hood.md) - [Air-Purifying Kitchen Appliances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fotile-freshbake-range.md) - [Next-Generation Range Hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/next-generation-range-hoods.md) - [Mobile Quad-Filter Range Hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breetee-portable-range-hood.md) - [Connected Kitchen Range Hoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-bespoke-smart-wall-mount-hood.md)
