Seymourpowell's Atmosphère devices diffuse cosmetics at the user's face

London studio Seymourpowell has designed concepts for a wearable collar and chaise longue powered by AI, which use atomised cosmetic products to protect city-dwellers from harmful pollutants. The wearable collar and chaise longue, called Atmosphère, convert beauty products into fine particles or droplets before projecting them onto the user in the form of vapour. As the studio explains, this process encapsulates them in a "beauty bubble" that is meant to shield them from toxic substances in their urban surroundings. The duo of conceptual devices were born from research that showed a growing focus among consumers on cleansing rituals, not just for the skin and body but also for the mind. In response to the threat of future water-shortages, both designs aim to replace "water heavy" beauty routines with new tech-powered experiences that leave the user feeling equally refreshed.
