Air Bar
In the home, Air Bar serves as both an air-conditioner and a projector. This design concept is a space-saving solution for small spaces and helps a space maintain a minimalist aesthetic.
As an air conditioner, Air Bar has two unique air louvre designs. The front air louvre has a micropore design (made from 4512 micropores). Airflow is released through the micropores to form a windless feeling, providing a more comfortable wind sensation. On the sides, two air louvres provide a wider ‘sweep’ angle with four rotatable swing louvres, and is able to ‘sweep’ air across a wider area. The combination of the two different air outlets provides the user with a comfortable 360° surround-air feeling. An air inlet grill is located at the base of the product to minimise the accumulation of dust.
As a projection device, Air Bar displays the operation interface of the air conditioner, creates a platform for sharing information with the family and functions as an assistant for daily life. The projection interface displays air humidity, temperature, real-time status of indoor and outdoor weather, daily work reminders, and more. Users can watch a movie together with friends and families in the living room while enjoying the comfortable air-conditioned environment at the same time.
