Move over Dyson Supersonic, a transparent Nothing hair dryer is here to steal the closet space

Posted on by

Carl Pei is making strong inroads into the consumer electronics and gadgets space with the smartphone and earbuds that have improved a lot from the inaugural versions when the company was launched. The Nothing Ear (a) has been topping the charts of budget earbuds that punch way above their weight, competing with the more premium options.

While the brand is keeping its portfolio strongly knitted in the gadget ecosystem (and I presume it’ll stay that way for a long time) a designer has envisioned a Nothing hair dryer that’ll have you looking your best with that luscious mane. Since this is one personal care accessory that you keep always handy, it better be stylish. So, what better than the Nothing’s see-through persona?

Designer: Will Parsons

Nothing is all about monochrome colors in a transparent aesthetic with a dash of signature red. Will has emulated those elements with perfection in this concept design that might not be an official product in the brand’s line-up, still, it could inspire a knock-off version in the big marketplace. The tasteful housing showing off the internal components is complemented by the glyph interface around the power and speed buttons. This glyph interface also indicates the charge levels of the hairdryer. The curvaceous design of the motor housing with the stainless steel inlets adds an industrial design element to the mix.

As per Will the Nothing hair dryer is fully ambidextrous and makes use of a centrifugal fan setup to suck air through the rear intake. This cools down the battery before flowing through the front heating element. The placement of the fan allows for a more slimmer look that other dryers which is a huge advantage.

While Dyson currently owns the closet space with options like Supersonic, this hair dryer is nothing less than impressive. It gives off the vibe of a classic muscle car modded to add more firepower under the hood and visual beef with the curves at the right places.

L’Oreal’s high-tech hair dryer will dry hair faster and use less electricity

Posted on by

How many people does it take to turn on an air dryer? It may sound like the beginning of a joke but actually this is a real question and the answer is around a hundred people make up the team that has created one of the most high-tech hair dryers. But there’s also a surprising twist with this team as it’s actually made of engineers and scientists that used to create drones. Your hair dryer will not fly in the sky but you’re getting something pretty high-tech.

Designer: Zuvi

The Airlight Pro was unveiled last month at the Consumer Electronic Show and is considered a “next-generation hair drying tool” that can be for professional hairdressers, stylists, and ordinary consumers at home. This was developed by L’Oréal in partnership with hardware startup Zuvi. The latter was created by drone engineers and scientists, most of whom came from technology company DJI, so you know that this is definitely a device that comes with good tech. It uses infrared-light technology and wind to have the hair dry faster and also use 31% less energy consumption.

The hair dryer uses a special 17-blade, high=speed motor, and patented infrared technology as well as tungsten-halogen bulbs so that you don’t use excessive heat when drying your hair. This also means that your hair is properly (or naturally) moisturized since the water is dried on the hair surface and the heat will not excessively dry it. Design-wise, it looks like a typical, high-tech hair dryer so there’s nothing really extra special there. But the fact that its technology can dry your hair quicker and still keep it shiny and smooth is the selling point.

The AirLight Pro has a small display in the handheld grip and can also be connected to an app so you can customize the settings depending on your hair type, length, and style. There isn’t a price tag announced yet although they may be looking at something below $400.

Designed for professionals, Dyson Supersonic r has a redesigned heater for precise hair drying and styling

After revolutionizing vacuum cleaners and air purifiers, Dyson has become a design language for most of us. This is aligned with the company’s philosophy of pioneering technologies that stand out for their authenticity and innovation, whether it is the bagless vacuum, air purifier, or Supersonic hair dryer.

The Supersonic is now redesigned for the professionals in the USA. The new Supersonic r hair dryer will be exclusively available for certified stylists starting April 2024, while individuals like us will have to wait a little longer to get our hands on this reworked blow dryer.

Designer: Dyson

Designed to be half the size of the original Supersonic, the r – which is symbolic of its lower case “r”-like shape – is reckoned the lightest and most precise hair dryer from the design house. To stand true to the claims perhaps, Dyson has stuck with the professional stylist exclusive offering only. After finding a sweet spot here, Dyson knows, the sales will skyrocket the moment it opens retails.

Beyond the size and design that would make the hair dryer more comfortable to use and easier to control, the Supersonic r, comes with a re-engineered heater that bends at the end of the shaft, along the hair dryer’s r shape to ensure even heat airflow. The heater tech is the first of its kind in the industry that along with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) sensors, makes Supersonic r a special product in the category.

The RFID sensors can communicate with the Supersonic r to allow the pro stylist to adjust the heater and Hyperdymium motor to a precise temperature and airflow. On board, there are three airflow controls and four heat modes for the user to toggle. With the benefits of precise heat and airflow, the blow drying is made effortless with no heat damage to the hair, which is further ensured with a range of attachments for varied styling needs: from quick hair drying to defining curls all for an asking price of $570. The Supersonic r was unveiled recently at the New York Fashion Week.

This Foldable Hair Dryer is one elegant and minimalist blowdryer

Foldable Hair Dryer Behrad Ghodsi

Not all women bother to get their hair dried. Some ladies may say it’s not needed, but for others who are OC with their crowning glory, they know that blow or hair dying helps prepare their hair into a style. Natural air drying may be enough but it takes time. So if you’re in a hurry and don’t want to look like a dripping mop head, it’s best to use a hairdryer, especially if done correctly. It can help retain moisture better to keep hair healthy and prevent breakage because wet hair can be vulnerable.

Designer: Behrad Ghodsi

Foldable Hair Dryer Features

If you have thick or curly hair, blow drying can lighten and smoothen your hair. Other hair dryer uses include drying pet hair, quick-drying clothes, blow-drying nail paint, or even unfreezing frozen food. You need to have at least one hairdryer at home or maybe bring one when traveling.

While the best hair dryers today are bulky like the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer, this concept design is more compact and portable. The Foldable Hair Dryer is unique because it can be folded into a smaller form. The hairdryer part is cylindrical with the usually interchangeable tip. The handle can be moved to cover the tip and transform it into a smaller unit.

The folded form of the hairdryer reminds us of either an umbrella or a water bottle. Of course, it’s more like a bottle with the handle, but others may even say it looks like a Victoria’s Secret perfume bottle, especially with the colors available: Maroon, Green, and Gray. Designer Behrad Ghodsi was the same guy who did the Canary Smart Speaker for Google. We can see the same clean lines and matte finish resulting in a more elegant look and feel. Ghodsi has also named this the H-Club Minimalist Hair Dryer. The product material could be plastic or metal, and we just hope it won’t quickly heat up.

The minimalist aesthetic is seen in the calming vibe and the choice of colors. But then it appears to be one sophisticated device, especially since the conceptualized packaging looks elegant. The Foldable Hair Dryer comes with a charger or power plug and a detachable cable inside the box. It can be assumed this is rechargeable because of the choice of cable and port.

Foldable Hair Dryer Package

As described, the H-Club Foldable Hair Dryer is engineered to protect hair from extreme heat damage. It offers fast drying and allows controlled styling to help increase hair smoothness. It can probably rival the Dyson hairdryer if and when it becomes a reality. It can match the Supersonic blow dryer in terms of design and build. It shouldn’t be as expensive though, so many people would be able to buy the H-Club Foldable Hair Dryer.

The wireless shark hair dryer is a fin-tastic conceptual design!

Posted on by

This conceptual wireless shark fin hair dryer was designed for children but I will happily admit that I would love to have one too! Usually, children are not allowed to use hair dryers by themselves because the wires can be dangerous, so a wireless hair dryer with a playful form can solve that issue for us. Wires can also endanger adults so I am declaring this to be a universal design, bring on the shark fins…I meant fans.

The dryer’s ergonomic build is based on the form of an actual shark fin. The shark fin is the dryer and the wireless charging pad has been shaped to form waves – despite not being based on a more joyful fish like the clownfish, the shark fin and waves evoke a sense of childhood nostalgia. The front of the handle has a switch that allows the user to adjust the heat between two levels and also a function that enables a cool blast of air to set your style. There are three glowing lights on the rear side of the handle which indicate when the dryer is on and what battery level it is at. A simple lightning motif on the base marks where the charging cord should go when the wireless device battery is running low. The minimal design and muted colors appeal to users of all age groups.

The ridges of the ‘waves’ base seamlessly blend with the dryer when at rest giving it the look we all recognize from movies, books, and aquariums – the peeking fin! This wireless shark fin hair dryer is a classic innovative product that everyone is bound to love. Anyone else’s brain singing baby shark?

This conceptual Dyson racecar is a 3D mashup of its most famous products!

Posted on by

I mean, this Dyson car isn’t intended for the road, but if it were, it would surely ‘blow’ its competitors away! Now that I got that joke out of my system, let me present to you the Dyson EV, by Graham Hutchings. Designed as a fun exercise, Hutchings took Dyson’s brand and products and rather than using them as inspiration, turned them into building blocks. What you’re seeing is an EV that was literally put together as a 3D collage of Dyson’s famous products, all of which are pretty distinguishable if you take a closer look!

The car comes with wheels that borrow directly from Dyson’s ball vacuum, as well as a multi-cylinder rear exhaust that’s a standard element in Dyson’s vacuum line too. Move over to the front and the car comes with an engine-cooling air-intake inspired by Dyson’s Airblade hand-blower, and if you look at its headlights with a keen eye, you may just see the iconic shapes of the Bladeless fan too. The car employs Dyson’s signature color combinations too, and my favorite detail on the vehicle by far has to be those Supersonic hair-dryer-inspired rear-view mirrors! Pretty neat, eh??

Slim and geometric, this hair dryer is the easiest to store!

Posted on by

The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer has set the bar rather high when it comes to the visual qualities of hair dryers, however I think it’s fair to say that this concept, named RED, may give Dyson a run for their money in the aesthetics department!

Designed with the ambitions of creating a visually striking product firmly in mind, every last detail of RED has been considered in great detail, from the tactile buttons through to its balanced proportions, this attention to the aesthetics has led to a beautiful product. But RED isn’t all about looks, it has a secondary feature that elevates its functionality and desirably even further… and that’s its ability to collapse. Storing hairdryers isn’t something that is always the most straightforward, with their awkward and bulky form demanding a large void to reside within. RED has solved this issue by featuring a collapsible handle that neatly rotates to allow the hairdryer to take on a geometric and more storage-friendly form.

A tree-branch inspired self-balancing hairdryer

Posted on by

A hairdryer’s aesthetic isn’t limited to the mundane form that we find on conventional hairdryers, leading to potential for more visually interesting and captivating forms to be explored. This is exactly what Branch displays, as it takes inspiration for its intriguing structure from nature!

Influenced by the distinctive shape of a tree branch, this hairdryer certainly carries a more unique form factor, that is both engaging and friendly. The asymmetric form brings an element of visual suspense to the product through a sense of imbalance. The device perches gracefully on the cradle, creating a strong sculpture-like structure that sits confidentially within the room. Free from fussy features that may clutter the minimal aesthetic, careful attention has instead been paid to Branch’s finishes and detailing to create a captivating hairdryer. This, paired with subtle color variants, leads to a product that sits beautifully within the domestic environment.

A Wireless Hairdryer That’s Fit for Display!

Posted on by

Some household products appear aesthetically neglected in regard to their often out-dated design, and one of these offenders is the hairdryer. Not only are the bulky, unimaginative and undesirable devices a bit of an eye-sore, but they can also be extremely inconvenient when it comes to storing them. Reef offers a solution to these problems, by carrying a form that you won’t want to hide!

The form of Reef was dictated by the comfort of the user; the user-optimized grip led to a form that is almost symmetrical, allowing for a beautiful sense of balance. Gone is the annoying, restrictive cable that limits the user and makes storing the device difficult; the handheld device sits upon a base that houses wireless charging capability!

Reef’s considered design language is shared across both components of the product; gentle, flowing curves have been paired with subtle surface detailing, which are accompanied by flashes of gold that make it perfect for the domestic environment!

Hang On! This Hairdryer Is Great!

Posted on by

Traditional hairdryers often carry a form where the handle seamlessly molds into the body, but, does this always have to be the case? Hyunseok Kang thought not, as he set out to challenge the familiar form! The solution came in the form of Just Hang On, a hairdryer that carries a design which centers around the exposed cable.

The cable, that appears to travel uninterrupted through the handle of the hairdryer, not only connects the two bodies together, but also acts as a hook, allowing the device to be suspended and conveniently stored. The great attention to detail is present throughout the entirety of this product, from the translucent nozzle that conceals the heating elements within, through to the simplistic branding that completes the design. Who would have thought such a simple design change could elevate a product’s visuals so much?!
