Giotto is an Air Purifier, it takes advantage of mechanical filtering in combination with UV-C light as a filter sterilizer, in order to purify a max CADR of 390 m3/h.
Two warm yellow lights are pointed to a 3D texture on the front panels to provide a qualitative feedback related to the variable state of activity of the device that doesn't have a tangible UI and is capable of auto-control basing on the air quality levels.
Considering a medical-related enviroment such a waiting room as a project context, highlighted three main requirements:
1 an high efficiency product (mechanical filtering is the most reliable technology on the market)
2 a visible product (wall placement) that express his state of activity without warning the client with negative or incomprehensible infos on the air quality
3 an absent UI on the product, in order to prevent unwanted modifies on the settings (also the auto control ensure that the product doesn't need a constant attention)
