Humidifiers are a must for battling the ultra-dry indoor air created by cranked-up furnaces, but those clunky steam spewers can really ruin a decor. Leave it to a Japanese design firm to create an aesthetically acceptable solution. Plus Minus Zero's award-winning model looks like nothing so much as a very Zen doughnut, and is sleek and small enough for any urban space. Even better, it doubles as an aromatherapy diffuser with a couple drops of scented oil. Good for your skin, andwe presumefor your feng shui.
