By analyzing people's behavior with air purifiers and music, they occupy many of the same spaces and routines. Purification remains continuously active in the background, while sound is intentionally introduced during moments of focus, activity and relaxation. Purification is continuous and largely passive. Music is selective and emotionally active. Their behaviors are different, but complementary.

Airflow Path
Air enters through the base and passes through the filtration system. A fan then directs the purified air upward through the hollow central duct before releasing it from the top.
