02 Design Exploration

Finding the
Right Form

A familiar outline, reached through exploration.

Square, rectangular and circular forms were considered before the oval brought body adaptation, structural space and wearing comfort into balance.

The form decision

A softer outline.
A considered fit.

The oval outer contour sits around a more rectangular filtration area. Each geometry serves a different purpose: one considers the body, the other makes room for the filter.

03 Integrated Structure

More Than a
Backing Layer

The adhesive carrier becomes an active part of the system.

An oval outer contour, a rounded rectangular opening and a continuous connection area bring the carrier and filtration pouch together. The surrounding bond supports a guided path through the filter.

Carrier and filtration pouch, conceptual plan view An oval carrier surrounds a rounded rectangular opening. A larger rectangular filtration pouch joins the carrier along a continuous surrounding connection area. 1 2 3

The oval carrier

The outer adhesive fabric provides the contact area around the filtration pouch, balancing a compact footprint with peripheral attachment.

04 Guided Airflow

Designed to Work
With Natural Flow

Working with the body’s natural release of gas.

The structure is designed to guide airflow through the filtration material and out through the carrier’s central opening.

Conceptual airflow through the patch Air travels from the body-facing side, through the filtration pouch, through the carrier's central opening and outward. The surrounding connection joins the pouch and carrier. BODY SIDEFILTRATION POUCHOUTSIDE Central openingSurrounding connection Air-permeable filter medium

05 Material Selection

Thoughtful
Material Selection

Every material choice serves the whole.

The 2026 edition combines coconut-shell activated carbon with modified coconut-shell activated carbon in a breathable filtration pouch.

The selection considers adsorption, airflow and wearing comfort together, within the space of a compact wearable form.

06 Everyday Experience

Small Enough
to Live With

The design does not maximize size.
It makes room for everyday life.

A larger filter could hold more material, but its presence at a close-fitting body location also matters. The compact form balances functional capacity, wearing comfort, movement and manufacturing feasibility.

A matter of balance

Enough structure.
Less intrusion.

Compact by consideration.

For moments when you want to stay
focused on what you are doing.
