Daikin redesigned the structure of its air purifier with a desire to provide users with the experience of safer, more comfortable air in response to the growing concern for air quality and the subsequent lifestyle changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Operation noise that is audible to people has been dramatically reduced by positioning the fan at the bottom of the unit under the filter to ensure a quiet environment to improve concentration for activities including remote work from home.
While aiming for a product that blends comfortably into any space, the design is indicative of “clean air” with its layering of the main unit between the lightweight front and rear panels that have curved surfaces evoking an image of air. With the intention of expanding the product globally, Daikin created a structure that meets the needs of all global regions as the company pursues optimum air not only for Japan but for each country around the world.

With the adoption of the refrigerant R32 that mitigates environmental impact, this residential air conditioner earned a class A+++ rating in energy efficiency in the European market where environmental initiatives continue to advance. In addition to functionality, sophistication in product design is high in the European market. For this reason, Daikin focused on each design aspect extending beyond the indoor unit to include even the outdoor unit and remote controller.
The appearance of the panel, which changes as it opens and closes, and its shading are also elements of the indoor unit design, and even the behavior of the panel which opens and closes by turning on and off was considered. The remote controller reflects the market demands for making operation easier, and sticked to a simple display showing the necessary settings. The lineup offers a choice of three colors for an indoor unit and remote controller set, enabling customers to choose a model that matches their own living environment. In this way, Daikin pursued a design that allows users to experience air in a simple way, which is suitable for a company that provides solutions with air.
