Russian industrial designer, Olga Kalugina, has a darned clever design for a portable multi-purpose dryer. It's the kind of dryer you need when you've come into your home after being swept up and soaked by a storm.
If you still have your umbrella after such a storm, the AIR will quickly dry it, as well as your clothing and shoes.

The sphere sits on a rocket-like perch, with levered arms that can rotate up to hold the drying object or down to be used as a stand.

I can think of dozens of household responsibilities for AIR. Drying dishes, dog's feet, underwear in a hurry.... Great idea, super design.
