Dyson Airblade Hand Dryer

red dot award: product design 2009

The Dyson Airblade hand dryer’s high quality and functionality is visibly conveyed by its reduced and ergonomic design. It dries hands within seconds by forcing a 644-km/h stream of air through a 0.3-mm-wide slit that functions like an invisible windscreen wiper, wiping the water from the hands and completely drying them. Thanks to its efficient filtering system, the Airblade is able to remove 99.9 per cent of bacteria from the air before it is blown onto the hands.
