The water contained in typical humidifiers is a breeding ground for bacteria. The Dyson model has an ultraviolet light treatment that silently purifies the water, twice over, so no unwanted elements end up in the air. The three-liter tank, Dyson says, is good for 18 hours of humidification.

Not known for cutting corners, Dyson spent $60.4 million to develop the humidifier, and went through 643 prototypes. Cheaper models, like those from Air-O-Swiss or the $60 Vicks V4500, will achieve similar ends as the Dyson, but they require near-daily cleaning by hand to be kept hygienic.

While the ultraviolet disinfection technology may not be a necessity, keeping a humidifier clean is vital. In other models, that requires scrubbing any part that contacts water to keep bacteria from forming and being distributed into the air. By treating the reserve water, the Dyson will move only clean fluid.

Humidifier is a minimal object created by Tokyo-based designer Kazushige Miyake for Muji. The item is an ultrasonic humidifier which can humidify a personal space such the desk or bed side.  You can also enjoy scents by mixing in essential oils. The humidifier can be used almost anywhere as it takes up very little real estate. Since the steam outlet is situated higher, the humidity can disperse slightly more effectively.

This project was a high elevation so we created an interior waterfall for humidity.  The wall application was American clay that absorbs the moisture and re-releases back into the air.  So we created an natural humidification for our clients.
