Air drying rack can make your clothes smell nice and your room look pretty

One of the most annoying smells I can think of are clothes that dried indoors and did not get any air circulation. That musty smell can be suffocating, even if the clothes were actually cleaned upon washing. Those living in houses or condo units that do not have proper airing space for wet clothes may be familiar with this smell. But what if you can have a drying rack that not only helps your wet clothes dry but also add a pleasing scent to it even as it’s not actually aired outdoors?

Designer: Seungbin Lee

This is the idea behind Air Blossom, a concept for an air drying rack for those living in single households that don’t have proper air circulation. It lets your clothes dry while getting rid of the musky smell that comes from drying indoors through scent filters that are part of the drying process. Aside from this fragrant innovation, the rack can also turn into a display when not in use. Clothes drying on a rack are not the most aesthetically pleasing sight but afterwards, you can turn the rack into a piece of art in the background of your space.

On the surface, it looks like a folding table when not used for anything. When you unfold it and lock it down, it turns into an air drying rack that can is able to rotate your clothes as they dry. There is a filter on the side where you can put your preferred scent so your clothes will not have that dried inside musty smell. When you fold it up and want to use it as a display, the “blinds” close together to form a photo or a painting. It’s unclear if the image and the scent can be customized or if you have to choose from the different options available.

The photo renders show the air drying rack in different pastel colors so maybe you can choose from the one that can fit your home. As someone who lives alone and barely does any clothes washing but maybe still needs it every once in a while, something like this can come in handy.

This drying chamber for cats acts like a feline-friendly sauna and doubles as a cat tower

Dmuse is a sauna-like drying chamber for cats to have a comfortable place to dry themselves after a bath.

We do a lot for our cats. They’re temperamental little creatures, so making sure they’re comfortable is our responsibility as cat owners. Along with the many duties that come with being a cat owner, bathing cats that might need some assistance in that arena is a big one. Whether due to arthritis or old age, some cats can’t bathe themselves the way nature intended them to, which means it’s our job as their caretaker.

Designer: Designer Dot

While getting cats into the bathtub for cleaning can feel like pulling your own teeth, it’s only half the battle. Then comes the water and we all know how cats deal with that. Take that in addition to drying your cat in a towel and you’ll end up with scratches and tooth marks up and down your arms. Introducing Dmuse, Designer Dot created a drying chamber that doubles as a cat tower as a solution for cats to have a more comfortable way of drying themselves.

The drying chamber itself appears like a traditional drying machine, complete with a convex glass covering and internal heat funnels. Users can operate the drying chamber from a digital control panel located along the rear of Dmuse’s drying chamber. Similar to a drying machine, users will find a collection of control options that manage the device’s temperature, strength, timer, and heat fan.

Unlike a drying machine, Dmuse’s drying chamber is not entirely enclosed as its equipped with a ramp entrance for cats to come and go as they please. Within the same vein, Dmuse doubly operates as a cat tower for cats to rest and play even when they’re dry.

Shaped like a triangle, Dmuse is broken down into three different sections: play, dry, and stay. The play area is defined by the entrance ramp that comes with felt covering for cats to tread upwards with the help of friction and to have a scratching pad within paw’s reach at all times.

Then, the drying chamber remains at the top of Dmuse and is characterized by its globular shape and convex glass covering, making the chamber as large as possible for cats to feel comfortable. Just beneath the drying chamber, cats can find a resting perch on the ground level where they can take a nap following their bath and sauna.

Once the drying chamber is plugged into an outlet, the sauna is ready for use. 

Ideated in an array of different colors, Dmuse can fit into any modern living space. 

An integrated lift is built into the ramp to ensure cats have the assistance they might need to access the drying chamber. 

Overall, Dmuse maintains a triangular shape, but the drying chamber finds space through a globular build. 

The control panel is conveniently located at the entryway, near the top of the ramp.

Can You Dry Clothes with a Drone?

Can you dry your wet clothes by using a drone? The Beyond the Press channel wanted to find out, so in this video they demonstrate how to speed up the drying process of some of their clothing. They had a Phantom 4 Pro drone hover over the top of the clothesline outside.

In theory, the rapidly spinning fan blades should help dry off the clothes, but you never know:

As it turns out, it didn’t really help to dry the clothes much, so they also attempted to tape a pair of wet underwear to the drone and fly it around. That strategy may have worked better, but sadly, the drone didn’t make it off of the ground. The underwear was too heavy.
