About Mist Humidifier
Mist is a humidifier whose packaging forms a working part of the product. The concept comes from a sealed plastic bag filled with air, where the air escapes when the bag is opened. Mist shows the amount of vapor visually through the size of the opening. The amount of vapor is controlled by pulling a trigger, instead of by electronic controls. The humidifier is made of ABS and PE plastic, and the white surfaces give a clean impression. Because the packaging is needed for use, the packaging is kept rather than discarded.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- If a sealed plastic bag is filled with air, then unzip it and the air will escape. The humidifier comes from this natural life phenomenon, which visually showed the amount of mist by adjusting the size of the opening. At the same time, the design of white material for the user's psychology provides a clean feeling.
- Inspiration
- As a product designer, it is very necessary to think about 'product packaging' in the whole product system. Therefore, the packaging of this humidifier itself is a part of the product. If the 'packaging' is discarded, the humidifier will not work properly, which conveys the designer's goodwill for environmental protection.
- Research
- Use unconscious design, affordance design, environmental design and other methods to design.
- Challenge
- The process of turning thinking into design.
- Operation and Interaction
- Unlike other humidifiers, which control the amount of fog by electronic principle, this humidifier controls the amount of fog by pulling the trigger.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project began in Zhengzhou in July 2019 and was completed in Zhengzhou in November 2019.
- Keywords
- humidifier, white, packaging, environmental design
