"Passakorn Kulkliang and the team at SYRUBSTUDIO in Bangkok just dropped what might be the year's most delightfully unsubtle product design homage. The WOOP Air Purifier is a full-throated love letter to Super Mario's green warp pipes, rendered in anodized aluminum with enough visual wit to make you grin and enough actual engineering to justify the space it takes up on your shelf."
"The form is dead simple. A cylindrical body wrapped in precision perforations for air intake, topped with a broader cap that houses the outlet and touch controls. The green finish comes in that distinctly Mario shade of vibrant metallic green, though they also offer it in brushed aluminum if you want the reference to be slightly less obvious to guests."
The WOOP Air Purifier features a cylindrical anodized-aluminum body inspired by Super Mario's green warp pipe, available in vibrant metallic green or brushed aluminum. Precision perforations cover the surface for air intake and are strategically distributed to maximize airflow into a hidden HEPA filter core that removes particulates. Air is drawn through tiny holes, passes through the filter, and exits upward via radiating vents in the top cap. The top surface integrates touch-sensitive LED icons for fan modes and a front-facing pulsing light that indicates operation. The design balances playful homage with restrained execution suitable for living spaces.
