Orawan Arunrak: Interview with a Genius The Chromatic Watch sat down with Orawan Arunrak last week, and she was kind enough to take us on a deep dive through her work and process. How did you develop your style? How do you feel your work has changed over time? My art is connected to my everyday life. I’ve never considered myself as someone who’s in search of “style.” But my surroundings and the contexts that evolve around them automatically come into play. And because of that, because I’m never in search of the style, nor does my work has its distinctiveness or a very identifiable identity, the audience might think my work is always changing. But in fact it’s only adapting to the context and content, or sometimes the message I’m trying to communicate. You work in many mediums—which is your favorite, and why? I usually start with the concept of my work first, then the medium comes later to support the idea. I also think about all the possibilities with that

Purifi is a vacuum and air purifier in one. It fixes the inevitable problem of dust dispersal that occurs while vacuuming, and cleans the vacuum nozzle after use, all while recharging. While researching opportunities for the improvement of the handheld vacuum, two insights were unearthed. First, just like surfaces, the air harbors toxins and bacteria as well – but not only from human skin cells and dust. After vacuuming, when releasing dust into a trash can from a vacuum container, the dust is also released into the air. The second insight was the dissonance in that the vacuum nozzle is the dirtiest part of the vacuum, and yet it touches the surfaces you wish to clean. A vacuum should not just be a tool for cleaning; it should, itself, be clean. Through ideation, the combination of a hand vacuum and air purifier developed. They already share components: both contain fans, motors, switches, filters, vents, and batteries. Combining them will be more sustainable. Designer : Nicole Assin
