Challenge

Smell impairment is an often overlooked disability, I wanted to adress this issue and help analyse the smell in one's interior. Using electronic nose technologies will try to implement is in a non obstructive way.

Solution

An interior device that displays actions to perform in order to keep the home smell free. The device can be moved from one room to another. This project was a good opportunity to train my design language skills by trying to include a product into an already existing range.

Smell impairment

Olfactory disorders can affect up to 22% of the general population.
A complete loss of the olfactory function (anosmia) ranges from of 3.6 to 5.8% within the general population
The home environment is where I find it the most relevant to propose a solution.
