# Lamp-Like Fireplaces The Purion_Ion Air Purifier Enlightens Spaces with Warmth and Clean Air By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-11-20 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purionion References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2013/09/09/traditional-fireplace-with-a-twist/) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Purion_Ion-air-purifier/7714141) Without an explanation, you might be curious about the function of the Purion_Ion. It rather looks like an unusually low floor lamp, it emits heat like a hearth and it contains a few removable components that don't appear to be attached in any way. Wongyung Lee's concept is for a [contemporary fireplace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonflame) that's inspired by the traditional Korean Agungi stove. Like the original, this one contains a small pocket with sticks inside, but instead of being wooden, these are electronic. The three [stick ionizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vu-air-ionizer) charge in the big base wirelessly and they can be carried to any room that requires warmth and [air freshening](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comfortpure). All four elements of the Purion_Ion emit negative ions to eliminate unwanted particles, all the while keeping the inhabitants of the home nice and toasty. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Electronic Fireplaces:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop electronic fireplaces that combine heat and air purifying capabilities for a modern and efficient alternative to traditional fireplaces. - **Wireless Heating Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create wireless heating solutions that can be easily moved to provide warmth in any room while also purifying the air. - **Negative Ion Technology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of negative ion technology to remove unwanted particles from the air while also providing heat and warmth. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate ionizing technology in home appliances, such as heaters, to provide both heating and air purification functions. - **Interior Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate stylish electronic fireplaces with air purifying capabilities into interior design trends for modern and functional spaces. - **Air Purification:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine negative ion technology with air purification systems to create more effective and efficient devices for removing pollutants from indoor air. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Light-Integrated Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airglow.md) - [Ambient Illumination Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-purifier-concept.md) - [Slick Modern Holographic Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holographic-fireplace.md) - [Artistic Minimalism Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeroview-air-purifier.md) - [Flatpack Virtual Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphene-radiator.md) - [Portable Cylindrical Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecosmart-fire-pillar-3t.md) - [Slender Two-in-One Air Modifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humidifier-and-air-purifier.md) - [Convenient Personal Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personal-fireplace1.md) - [Mixed-Material Tabletop Fireplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brasscene-harmony-flame-fireplace.md)
