Abstract: A room air purifier has a body with a frame at least partially defining an interior chamber and an opening to the chamber. A purification mechanism in the chamber includes one or more filters and one or more blowers. A panel is configured to removably mount to the body and cover the opening to the chamber. A base mounted to the body, and each leg of a set of legs is mounted to the base. A nonwoven fabric portion covers at least part of the body. The blower when activated generates an inflow through the nonwoven fabric portion and a filter, and an outflow though the body, all while hidden from view in what to an observer looks like an article of furniture.
