Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The PlusMinusZero Humidifier Version 3 is Sleek and Simple

— April 10, 2012 — Art & Design
As purely functional as a home air purifier is meant to be, the PlusMinusZero Humidifier Version 3 shows that it doesn't have to look it at all times. This humidifier may first and foremost hydrate the air, but it does so in a stylish manner than doesn't compromise the look of a room. Shaped like a donut, it is small, sleek and simple. It is also very easy to use despite having a Japanese-only instruction manual.

The PlusMinusZero Humidifier Version 3 was conceived and created by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. Available in three different colors (brown, red and green), it comes with a steam fan function that better distributes the steam around a living space for a healthier overall lifestyle. Uniquely sculptural, no one will know that it's a humidifier.
