Hair and Hand Dryer

Combining Convenience and Safety

The Hand and Hair dryer is a unique and innovative solution to the common problems associated with traditional hair dryers in bathrooms. Designed by Jaewan Choi, this dual-function device not only provides efficient hair drying but also ensures safety and convenience.

Traditional hair dryers often pose challenges when it comes to finding a suitable place to store them in bathrooms. Additionally, the issue of organizing the electrical cord adds to the inconvenience, as it needs to be kept away from water to prevent electric shock. The Hand and Hair dryer addresses these concerns by offering a compact and cordless design.

One of the standout features of the Hand and Hair dryer is its ability to be used as both a hair dryer and a hand dryer. By hanging the device on the bathroom wall, users can easily access it for hair drying while simultaneously utilizing it as a hand dryer. This eliminates the need for separate storage and ensures that the device is always within reach.

Furthermore, the Hand and Hair dryer is rechargeable, allowing it to function as a hand dryer even when the hair dryer is being used. To operate the device, users simply need to press the button continuously. This design not only enhances convenience but also reduces the risk of electric shock. In the event of a slip, the device automatically turns off, ensuring user safety.

The Hand and Hair dryer is constructed using a combination of plastic for the main frame and metal for other components. Its compact dimensions of 100mm x 250mm x 220mm make it suitable for various bathroom sizes and layouts.

Extensive research conducted by the design team revealed that a significant portion of the population, approximately 87%, uses hair dryers in their bathrooms. However, storing them outside the bathroom to avoid humidity is inconvenient. Moreover, thousands of people worldwide suffer from electric shock accidents caused by hair dryers each year. The Hand and Hair dryer aims to address these issues and provide a safer and more convenient alternative.

Recognizing its exceptional design and functionality, the Hand and Hair dryer was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Home Appliances Design category in 2016. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the device's outstanding expertise, innovation, and remarkable level of excellence.

The Hand and Hair dryer is not only a practical solution for hair drying but also a testament to the importance of safety and convenience in everyday life. With its unique features and user-friendly design, it is set to revolutionize the way we approach hair and hand drying in our bathrooms.
