Blow Wind Blow
A home accessory, 2021
The design intent behind Blow Wind Blow is to provide a fraction of nature for users, that would boost their moods and also be therapeutic. Its concept comes from how a candle flame flickers, as one does work or relaxes with a lit up candle. This product's function mimics that effect but rather nature-inspired, making it a form of "green therapy" as the exterior is inspired by a tree bark and the flickering of a flame is replicated with leaves flying in the cylindrical tube; as if they were being blown swiftly with the wind, with a speaker that plays nature sounds while the leaves move around. It also functions as a lamp, adding a warm ambience to one's space.
(I took reference from a handheld portable cleaner and thought "What if I reversed the sucking in motion of a vacuum and turned it into something that blew air out instead?")
