Designed by Jinyoung Noh, the unit features a top section for placing hands to quickly wick away moisture, while a built-in UVC LED performs sterilization to ensure optimal sanitization. The wall-mounted unit saves space by being positioned up and away from flooring, and also works to keep the washroom as comfortable as possible thanks to a [heating functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dyson-purifier-humidify) that can be activated in the winter months. The system is rounded off with [air purifier functionality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeroview-air-purifier) to keep contaminants out of the air and keep the space smelling fresh.
