普象-让好设计发光

ChallengeExisting drying racks take too much space and time. OutcomeAn indoor electric drying rack with a visual texture that actively dries clothes using heat and fans.

ContextThe lack of wind indoors takes a long time to dry clothes, which risks the clothes attracting odor and bacteria. Apartment spaces also don’t have the space to comfortably fit bulky drying racks. Instead users use inconvenient, makeshift solutions.

Active DryingInspired by the Tesla Model 3 ventilation system, Ripple uses fans from the top and front to move at changing speeds which creates a moving stream of air that dries items evenly from top to bottom.

Dimensions and InsidesThis is a rough simulation of what the inside would look like (Heating Coil / Top Fan Array / Front Fan Array).
