About the workThe design of this floating drying bonnet for use at home was inspired by the space enthusiasm of those years – in 1969, humans landed on the moon for the first time. A ventilator, which was carried in a separate bag, filled the bonnet with warm air, which escaped from small holes and dried the hair. For many women, it was a cheap alternative to a visit to the hairdresser and thanks to the long electric cable, they could even move around relatively freely.
