With a silhouette like a Russian Doll and a resemblance to a bowling pin, this [pivot air purification device](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-puricare-aerobooster) assumes a familiar form and fulfils a practical task by atypical means. While most of these sorts of tiny air conditioning units are stationary, this one has been designed with a revolving head that disperses its freshened oxygen.

The curvaceous shape of Byung Wook Kang's concept Zephyros has a bulbous base and a smooth head, separated by a subtle seam. Inside, a [HEPA filter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airmega-50) and an efficient fan work together to project a clean breeze about the room.

The futuristic look of the [pivot air filtration system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windmill) extends beyond its appearance too. A built-in motion sensor ensures that most of the Zephyros' time is spent directed at the people within the space.
