Imitating an active volcano, the Volcano Humidifier by designer Dae-hoo Kim humidifies your room in style. The sleek gadget uses a combination of soft lights and water vapor to create the illusion of an erupting volcano. Kim's Humidifier releases a vapor as if a real volcano were releasing smoke. The water is puffed out in soft steamy clouds into a red light to simulate magma. In addition, the Volcano Humidifier also releases rings of steam to further enhance its authenticity.
To use the humidifier, all you have to do is pour in water from the top of the device and switch it on. The device was kept with a distinct lack of buttons on the surface to enhance the minimalist design.
