Electricity-Free Humidifiers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Maxime Louis-Courcier's Passive Humidifier is Made of Paper Clay

— October 10, 2019 — Eco
This passive humidifier by Paris-based industrial designer Maxime Louis-Courcier not only has a much more aesthetically pleasing form than most household humidifiers but it also makes the most of natural materials and needs no electricity to function. The paper-clay humidifier is an earthenware object for the home that absorbs water from its base, which evaporates to add moisture to the air.

The undulating design of the top portion of the humidifier is not just decorative but useful for maximizing contact with the air, even in a large amount of space, with a space-saving form.

Through its intuitively designed form, the electricity-free paper-clay humidifier helps to set itself apart from the many other household objects that are sometimes overly complicated and even misused as a result.
