Personal Zone Air Purifier
by Humanscale
Humanscale® Personal Zone Air Purifier
To improve indoor air quality, the Humanscale Personal Zone Air Purifier removes more than 99 percent of airborne particles of all sizes for the cleanest possible air with a silent, breeze-free and ozone-free operation. This is an important factor for the office, because the Environmental Protection Agency has identified indoor air quality as one of the top five most urgent environmental risks to public health. With patented technology, this purifier cleans air in such a targeted way that the size of the room becomes irrelevant, and no energy is wasted cleaning air in unoccupied spaces. To support environmental sustainability, this is the only air purifier to offer recyclable paper air filters that can either be vacuumed clean and reused or recycled with other paper products. It consumes just seven watts of energy and supports the trend toward green, healthy living. An original, ingenious design, the Personal Zone Air Purifier was part of an exhibition at MoMA, called Design and the Elastic Mind.
Humanscale® Personal Zone Air Purifier
The Personal Zone Air Purifier uses the most effective air purifying technology in the world. Originally developed in Sweden for industrial air cleaning applications, the Personal Zone Air Purifier's patented technology does what no other air purifier can do: surround the user in a bubble of ultra pure air — the 'clean air zone.'
The Humanscale Personal Zone Air Purifier's patented technology renders other air purifiers obsolete. Consuming just 23 watts of power, it utilizes a tightly coiled paper filter that offers far more surface area than any other air purifying technology, allowing it to more easily capture airborne contaminants. Plus, it operates in virtual silence, produces no ozone and creates no noticeable draft.
After approximately 6 months of use in a typical environment, the Personal Zone Air Purifier's paper filter can either be replaced or vacuumed clean for reuse. And when it's time for replacement, the filter can be easily recycled with other paper products.

Humanscale History

Humanscale stands for: 1) Superior performance 2) Effortless operation 3) Excellent quality The company requires that their products solve a problem, are comfortable and less complicated, so people can focus on their task at hand.
Humanscale achieves superior performance by designing furniture in accordance with how people actually work — how they sit, type and move at their desks. Since people don’t think about their posture or the physical relationship of their body to objects while they work, Humanscale products do it for them. Their products react to peoples’ movements and adjust to their bodies, instead of the other way around for unsurpassed comfort. Although familiar in appearance, Humanscale products function differently, intuitively, with no learning curve and they are designed for rigorous use and maximum durability. Most are guaranteed for life.
Humanscale’s development of high-performance ergonomic office tools began in 1983. Beginning with its first product — an anti-glare filter that improved the visibility of monochrome monitors in the early 1980s — the company has methodically designed some of the most innovative products in the industry. In the 1990s with the introduction of high-performance articulating keyboard systems, Humanscale made a very significant contribution to the ergonomic industry. In 1999, Humanscale took the contract furniture industry by storm with the introduction of the Freedom chair, designed by ergonomics pioneer Niels Diffrient. The revolutionary seating solution broke new ground by combining unprecedented functionality with minimal manual controls, utilizing dynamic mechanisms that respond to the requirements of each individual user automatically. In 2009, Humanscale sold its millionth Freedom chair.
