Kara Water: Kara Pure
Kara Pure isn’t just another home appliance—it’s an award winning atmospheric water generator that pulls moisture from the air and transforms it into mineral-rich, alkaline drinking water. As the first-of-its-kind luxury device in this space, it demanded innovation not only in concept, but in engineering execution.

Meeting Innovation Where It’s At
When Kara Water came to Acorn, they had a bold vision and a working design—but needed expert support to refine, validate, and move the product forward. Rather than starting from scratch, we embedded ourselves within their existing development process, performing a targeted engineering audit —analyzing the design’s feasibility, reliability, and manufacturability.
Focused Improvements & Real Impact
Our team provided concept solutions with DFM/DFA recommendations to ensure the product could be manufactured efficiently and reliably. We offered critical input on fluid system performance to optimize the water generation and delivery experience.
First-of-Its-Kind Product, First-Class Collaboration
More than just identifying issues, we solved them—helping their team navigate around design flaws and technical roadblocks with practical, cost-conscious solutions. Working lean and staying aligned with Kara’s budget and scope, we delivered clear, actionable answers that allowed them to keep momentum without overextending resources.
Kara Pure was recognized as TIME’s Best Invention of 2022, received the CES 2023 Innovation Award and received global recognition. These awards and acknowledgements highlight the product’s groundbreaking approach to sustainable hydration and thoughtful engineering. At Acorn, it’s incredibly rewarding to see our partners' visionary ideas celebrated on such a global stage. This award reflects the hard work, collaboration, and technical ingenuity that went into developing a first-of-its-kind device, and we’re proud to have played a role in bringing Kara Water’s vision to life.
Conclusion
With Acorn’s engineering support, Kara Water successfully launched a category-defining product that turns ambient air into pure, mineralized drinking water—elegantly and sustainably. The Kara Pure stands as a testament to what can be achieved when vision and world-class engineering align. Learn more by clicking this link.
