The window vacuum cleaner is one of those household tools that we need to be just functional. We don’t really focus that much on the design but rather on how it is able to clean our surfaces well. But what if the design actually contributes to its functionality? Also, a lot of the cleaners in the market are pretty bulky and industrial-looking so we tend to hide it. But what if it’s designed well enough that you can display it in plain sight?

Aria is a concept for a window vacuum cleaner that has completely redesigned its architecture so that the over-all design of the tool can be different as well. The vacuum system has been moved to the top while the dirty water tank is placed inside the handle and is now removable from the bottom so it’s easy to empty it when it’s full.
The cylinder now holds the motor and the superellipse is in the handle. These two are joined together as if they’re a single body, making it seem like they’re just one single body. It also has two interchangeable heads so you can reach both the bigger surfaces and the more confined spaces. It also has a base for easy charging, similar to other current devices like watches, electric shavers, etc.
Instead of hiding a bulky window vacuum cleaner away, you can actually just place it somewhere nearby for easy access. It’s also ergonomically designed so that you can easily use it when cleaning without having to uncomfortably stretch out your arms to reach hard-to-reach areas.
