English	Petrichor is a fragrant humidifier designed with the beautiful shape of a calla lily, based on people's subconscious association of "plants" with "fresh and moist air". Its form and function are organically integrated with real plants, so when the "roots" are inserted into water, it becomes a vibrant hydroponic plant instead of a lifeless humidifier. The water mist sprayed from the stamen turns into crystal dew drops on the petals, instead of annoying water stains on the desk. Users can integrate it into their home as a good decoration and change the water container as needed.
Native	本设计的第一大创新点在于外观创新：当我们看到植物在空间中，我们会认为它起着湿润、清新环境的作用，这是基于人们潜意识的自然联想。那为什么不将香薰加湿器设计成植物的外形呢？基于此我们提取了马蹄莲等植物的优美外形曲线进行外观设计，使产品具有植物的鲜明特征和姿态美，却又不被任何一种特定的植物外观而拘束；此外，特殊设计后的结构带来了使用上的便利：加湿器喷出的水雾不再成为桌面上扰人的水渍，而是化作花瓣上晶莹的露珠；细长轻便的体态使其可以任意放置在盛水器皿中，换水与清洁都与养育真正的水培植物一样轻便惬意。这两大创新点实现了形态与功能上的统一，是设计者在新时代背景下对家居、空间、自然三者的新思考与新诠释。在香薰加湿器市场存在多种竞品，然而“沐”以其仿生设计和结构创新为消费者提供了与众不同的选择，在加湿的硬基础上满足人们潜意识中对自然美的软需求；同时，本设计意在强化加湿器与人们生活的自然衔接，弱化器械加湿带给使用者的违和感。通过仿生设计唤起用户对自然的情感共鸣，感受到加湿过程中的自然之美。
