Project Overview

Modern families consistently struggle with garment issues like damp-induced mould, pest infestation, and unpleasant odours, while caring for delicate upscale fabrics presents an even tougher challenge; nevertheless, traditional methods such as mothballs and dry cleaning not only pose health risks but also need high costs.

In response, the brand has developed an intelligent, health-conscious garment care machine. The product, centred around the philosophy of “technology + nature”, redefines the standards of garment care.

Project Brief

This garment care machine, taking “Empower Nature With Technology, Integrate Health Into Life” as the core philosophy, provides a comprehensive intelligent solution for modern families to address common garment issues (damp-induced mould, pest infestation, unpleasant odours, and uneasy-to-maintain upscale fabrics).

It ingeniously marries minimalism with modular design: an ultra-slim profile (with a thickness of only 32mm) and a hanging mechanism ensure adaptability to various scenarios like wardrobes and suitcases; the brand’s self-developed db Air technology (plasma, negative ions, and circulating air) facilitates effective sterilization and odor removal; a pest repellent herbal essential oil module, free of chemicals, contributes to a safe environment for both mothers and babies.

Additionally, the matte ABS casing and the food-grade silicone fragrance capsule significantly improve durability while offering a comfortable tactile experience; a sensor light ring and a symmetrical air outlet add a high-tech aesthetic and enhance visual harmony.

Project Innovation/Need

Self-developed db Air Technology: Plasma, in collaboration with negative ions, disrupts the cell structure of microorganisms, achieving a sterilisation rate of up to 99%. Meanwhile, negative ions neutralise odour-causing molecules to prevent secondary pollution.

Herbal Essential Oil: The Chinese herbal essential oil stored in the capsule is quickly diffused and evenly distributed in the air, non-toxic and harmless, with a long-lasting pest repellent effect.

Ultra-Slim Profile & Hanging Mechanism: With a thickness of only 32mm, the garment care machine easily fits into a wardrobe and greatly saves space; two hidden air ducts enable the airflow to cover a larger space, thereby improving sterilisation efficiency.

Module Integration: The modules (battery/fragrance/light ring) support quick replacement for easy maintenance.

Two Smart Modes: The product is equipped with a sensor that automatically switches between 24h Pest Control Mode and Daily Care Mode. Users can also easily manage settings through the mobile APP for remote control.

Design Challenge

The primary challenge was how to enable efficient and safe sterilisation and mould prevention. This garment care machine employs the brand’s self-developed db Air technology, which integrates plasma, negative ions, and circulating air to achieve powerful sterilisation and odour removal capabilities while protecting delicate fabrics (silk, cashmere, etc.) from damage caused by high-temperature steam or strong oxidants. Furthermore, the herbal essential oil instead of mothballs ensures chemical-free, safe pest control.

How to balance compact size with aesthetic appeal was also a significant challenge. The product, styled in a minimalistic manner, boasts a square, integrated body, an air outlet with a ringlike CD texture, and a sensor light ring, downplaying its presence and giving a high-tech aesthetic. With a 32mm ultra-slim profile and a hanging mechanism, it easily fits into various scenarios, including wardrobes, suitcases, shoe storage cabinets for entryways, and small bathrooms.

Sustainability

This garment care machine allows for easy maintenance of delicate upscale garments, effectively extending their service life and reducing costs for modern families. It also serves as an integral part of a smart home ecosystem, able to be linked with wardrobes, air conditioners, and other devices for whole-house health management.

Moreover, the product is free of chemicals and features low energy consumption. This not only aligns well with modern environmental principles but also encourages users to shift from dry cleaning to home garment care, thus alleviating chemical pollution. The brand’s self-developed db Air technology can be extended to applications in air purification and car interior sterilisation, creating a cross-scenario application ecosystem.
