Literally… it blows and sucks! As more urban-based companies lean toward work-from-home policies, so does the need to have better indoor air quality at home. Designed with this in mind, Fan Tone by designer Hyojeong Lee is an interesting twist on the ceiling fan that does double duty as an indoor air cleaner that rids your home of harmful particles.

It can easily replace any existing fan or installed as a new fixture as it integrates into any standard electrical system. The unit utilizes a HEPA filter system and directly targets air where it matters most. Its fan system also ensures air is circulated for more comprehensive cleaning that stretches beyond room boundaries. It’s also equipped with wireless connectivity so it can relay information to a smartphone app that will give you real-time air quality stats. This also means it can work in tandem with any smart climate control system to provide more efficient cooling during summer months. No one would blame you for not wanting a big, bulky, asymmetrical object as the focal point of your room… but the idea of combining ceiling fans with air-cleaning tech is long overdue!
