Hedgehog
Hedgehog is a series of multifunctional dryers for shoes, boots, gloves and outdoor sports gear. The dryers use a high-powered fan system developed with hydro power engineers, applying water turbine principles to the impeller and the fan housing. The resulting high-pressure airflow pushes warm air into the fabric and forces humidity out. Adjustable heat protects sensitive materials, and an ionic setting reduces odor and bacteria. A simple interface controls airflow, heat and a timer. Each steel spike can be switched on or off to direct the air. Replaceable parts support longer use.
Hedgehog Multifunctional Dryer by Bjorn Holte has been identified as a creative example of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Hedgehog Multifunctional Dryer won the Bronze A' Design Award in Home Appliances Design in 2024. The A' Home Appliances Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design prize that celebrates exceptional design of refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, washing machines, dryers, ovens, vacuum cleaners, air conditioners and more.
