Ario Air Conditioning

Ario

Airo-5G is a compact air conditioner designed for small spaces. Airo-5G combines three functions in one body: air conditioning fan, purifier and humidifier. The functions are selected by changing the placement of the unit, and all three can work together when the unit stands vertically. The hollow form is inspired by the karst caves of southwest China. A filter element removes fine airborne particles. The unit connects to the internet, so functions can be updated over time and less new hardware is needed. Airo-5G suits home, travel and office use.

Light Leaf Daylight Redirecting Louver

Light Leaf

LightLeaf is a daylight redirecting louver system for homes with limited natural light. Conventional blind slats are replaced with adjustable light guiding blades that capture ambient daylight and reflect it deeper into the room. The blades combine a high reflectance upper surface with a diffusive lower finish to control glare. A lightweight aluminium frame with pivot hinges and position locks lets the unit be pushed outward when more daylight is needed. The system supports modular fabrication and non invasive installation on existing window frames.

Tramae Wallcovering Collection

Tramae

Tramae is a wallcovering collection for interior surfaces. The design translates the sand casting technique of Italian artist Costantino Nivola into a three dimensional relief with a sandy texture. Tramae is produced on GlamOrigin, a matt material made of quartz powder layered on a non-woven fabric backing. Four free match patterns are offered in Pure White or Silk Grey. The patterns and the two tones can be combined to create calm or more dynamic surfaces. The hand worked effect is transferred to a ready to use material, so tactile depth is achieved on large areas.

Kazbegi Slab

Kazbegi

Kazbegi is a large format porcelain slab designed for walls and floors. The slab measures 3200 millimetres in length and 1600 millimetres in width. The surface reproduces the natural texture of stone, with marble like veining and soft natural colour. The design is inspired by the form of Mount Kazbek and brings the character of mountains and stone into interior spaces. Production uses digital mould technology, macro capture of stone patterns, three dimensional scanning and multi layer printing. Kazbegi suits living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and study rooms.

Echo Remote Control

Echo

Sliding is an air conditioner remote control designed for blind people. A braille display shows the current set temperature. A sliding button allows quick temperature changes, while an arrow shaped button allows precise adjustment. Mode and airflow buttons are placed on both sides of a large button, and a voice system announces each selection. A voice control button on the side allows the air conditioner to be operated by spoken commands. A magnetic panel charges the remote control and holds it in a fixed place, reducing the use of disposable batteries.

Rain Curtain Multifunctional Humidifier

Rain Curtain

Rain Curtain is a combined air purifier and humidifier designed for home use. Water is circulated and sprayed onto the humidification filter from above, which keeps the filter moist and improves humidification efficiency. The filter is separated from the water tank to reduce bacterial growth. A semi-transparent window, named the rain curtain, makes the flowing droplets visible during operation. Four air purification functions and five water sterilization functions are included. Rain Curtain is controlled through the front touch screen or a mobile application.
