#A Dyson-inspired mosquito-repelling device that sticks under your table to keep the bugs away!

Conceptualized using the design language and semantics of Dyson, this mosquito-repelling device uses the natural flow of air to keep mosquitos away and an adhesive backing that keeps the device out of view when dining!

There’s nothing worse than sharing a meal with a table full of mosquitoes. With eating outside becoming more popular as sidewalk dining areas crop up in response to COVID-19 restrictions, the bugs seem to be following suit. Ahead of the summer months, designers are taking to the drawing board for some modern solutions. Conceptualized using the design language and semantics of Dyson, WuShuai, a Beijing-based industrial designer, designed a battery-operated mosquito-repelling device that can adhere to the underside of any table.

Envisioned for restaurants with outdoor seating, WuShuai’s mosquito-repelling device is currently conceptualized to cling onto the underside of tables, automatically buzzing on as soon as it adheres to a surface. Using the design language and semantics of Dyson led WuShuai to develop their mosquito-repelling device on the background of airflow. A low-power fan located in the center of the device, “is used to accelerate the volatilization of the mosquito repellent, so that the mosquito repellent can be powered by a battery.”

Containing the device’s power operations inside of a battery-operated pack allows for portability and wireless operation, making it a convenient choice for busy city hubs like restaurants and cafes. By maintaining a wireless and portable design, the mosquito-repelling device can remain hidden from view when in use.

Waiters can simply adhere and remove the device from the table’s underside as customers need it, “When the device is adsorbed under the dining table, it will automatically start to work. The waiter can remove the device and place it on the table when no one is dining at the table. The battery can be easily removed, and all the batteries can be stacked together for charging.”
