Seongmin Lim is the designer behind the DORIC vacuum cleaner, which reimagines the traditional cleaning device as a sculptural art form. Instead of a device that is meant to be stashed away in a storage room, it is meant to be seen and possibly admired. It is designed with inspiration from Greek architecture — specifically, it highlights elements of the Doric columns.

The design brings attention to the clean lines, angularity, and symmetric forms. Together, it evokes a timeless elegance with a culturally artful beauty. These classic elements are reimagined with a modern approach. This gives the device a minimal design which elevates the interior design. Visually, it looks like a razor with its sleek silhouette.
