[Hong Kong, June 19, 2023] - Designer Francois Hurtaud has announced the completion of a commercial air purification device redesign for healthcare companies in Hong Kong. The existing product was modified to address the concerns of post-COVID consumers, with a thorough discovery process that considered internal physical constraints and external form. The result is VENUE, a modern and efficient purification device that will help keep Hong Kong's healthcare facilities safe and clean.

Venue was first introduced at the 2nd International Property Management and and procurement Expo in the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre early September 2022.
