If there's one thing we learned from the Covid-19 pandemic, it's the value of clean air. But with it, we also learned that even portable air purifiers take up a lot of space and make plenty of noise. It's sadly not practical to have them always with us to ensure clean air at home, work, in our car, or when traveling on an airplane. But there is a purifier that can do all that and it's the Akari Air Purifier, which isn't just effective, it's also very stylish.
The stylish part is taken care of by Nagoya-based Carozzeria Kawai, one of Japan's most prominent and award-winning design studios. The air-purifying part is taken care of by the manufacturer's proprietary photo-sterilization technology that uses a photocatalytic film on the Akari Air Purifier's filter, providing powerful sterilization and deodorization. And as for portability, at 74 x 73 x 179 mm (2.9 x 2.9 x 7") and weighing only 250 g (8.8 oz), it can be with you almost everywhere and, being available in black and white, it fits almost any environment. The only thing it needs is a USB power source!
