About Clair

Next to the bed, in child's room, in the car, or on the desk in your office...
Clair finds out that you need a compact and smart air purifier which just fits in your space

The last 10 years, Clair has been designing and manufacturing air purifiers for your personal space to bring clean air and comfort. Our CEO, Woohun Lee, thought it’s unreasonable to put just one air purifier to take responsibility of purifying your entire home, and it makes much more sense having an air purifier perfectly tailored to each room.  From filters to finished products, we develop and produce them ourselves, and now export air purifiers to 24 countries with our own technology.
