“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
airPure
AIRPURE redefines air conditioner design with a UI focused on human connection and versatility. The visually appealing device serves multiple purposes: its adaptive front panel becomes a mirror or display when off, and provides indirect cooling through rear vents or a gentle breeze from front apertures when on. Striking visuals and animations enhance user experience while blending seamlessly into any environment.
