Taking clothing to the dry cleaner is an effective but increasingly antiquated way to care for clothing, which is supporting the shift towards products like the conceptual Ranvoo Garment Steamer.
Designed by Zhinan Huang, the steamer has a handheld construction and a head that can be rotated from vertical to horizontal. This allows for garments to be steamed when hung up or smoothed out in an ironing-like fashion on a flat surface to accommodate different needs.
The Ranvoo Garment Steamer maintains a very compact form factor to ensure optimized comfort during use. The unit also features a metallic, technology-inspired design that responds to growing consumer preferences for products with a sense of modern style. The device also measures in at just 42mm thick to make it comfortable for use in the hand.
