NOT being able to control the heat at home is a problem most New Yorkers have experienced at some point. That might explain why some are so fixated on finding the right humidifier: If they can’t turn down the heat, they can at least put some desperately needed moisture into the air.
Leon Ransmeier has spent a fair amount of time thinking about what makes a good humidifier. Mr. Ransmeier, 32, is an industrial designer based in New York who has worked with companies like Herman Miller and Established & Sons. And although his apartment isn’t overheated, he did design a prototype for a humidifier not long ago.
His criteria for what works? “Something as simple as a humidifier should have a simple interface: an on-off switch and an adjustment switch,” he said. It should be easy to refill, he added, and it should be designed so condensation doesn’t collect around the unit.
