From 'filter' to 'feature': rethinking the air purifier

For many people, air purifiers are still an afterthought. Some have never considered them, others see them as plain white boxes to tuck out of sight. But clean air is something every home and workplace can benefit from. So why not turn the purifier into a feature you are proud to have on display?

That is the idea behind our “from filter to feature” campaign with the Blast Mini.

A purifier as art

The Blast Mini’s front panel is made of metal, which means it can be painted, stencilled or customised. We started by giving it a Mondrian-inspired design. Instead of hiding in a corner, it became a bold statement piece, even presented in a gallery-style setting. It showed that an air purifier can be both functional and beautiful.

The Bauhaus corner

The Mondrian Blast Mini has now found its permanent home in the hallway of an apartment. Placed alongside a black mirror and a white table with clean Bauhaus lines, it has become an entryway focal point.

It does more than look good:

  • It welcomes you with a striking visual statement.
  • It cleans the air for the hallway and the rooms that open off it.

From white box to brand canvas

There’s no reason air purifiers should be hidden away. In homes, they can be painted, stencilled or patterned to fit your style. In businesses, they can carry branding - a drinks company could spray its logo across the panel for a bar installation, or a gym could match its energy-fuelled branding on the front.

It is time to move beyond anonymous white boxes and think of purifiers as part of the space.

Performance still matters

Of course, style is not enough on its own. The Blast Mini has been independently reviewed by HouseFresh, who said:

  • “One of the most powerful compact purifiers we have tested.”
  • “Built like a tank, with serious clean air delivery.”
  • “The purifier that will last a lifetime.”

So while the Blast Mini gives you creative freedom, it also delivers clean air you can rely on.

Your turn

We have turned our Blast Mini into a gallery piece, showing how a filter can become a feature. Now we would love to see what others create. Whether you are decorating your home or running a business, the Blast Mini is a blank canvas ready for you to make your own.
