Introducing the airCloset, an interior air conditioning unit that seamlessly blends functionality and aesthetics for modern living spaces. Many air conditioners on the market disrupt the harmony of well-designed interiors, and users often desire 'silent comfort' that meets their visual preferences while minimising noise.
The airCloset addresses these concerns with a refined cabinet-style design in a minimalist aesthetic that integrates effortlessly into various homes while also serving as a distinctive piece. The design also turns the appliance into an eye-catching, standalone sculptural unit that enhances the overall decor of a room. A defining feature of the airCloset is its unique front surface, characterised by its brand design language - a continuous expanse of vents that form 'harmony lines', made possible without traditional louvres.
Instead of louvres, airCloset employs an innovative windless airflow technology. In cooling mode, air is released from the upper section of the vents, distributing cool air evenly throughout the room. In heating mode, warm air flows from the lower section, gently warming up the space from the ground. With its sophisticated design and advanced functionality, the airCloset enhances indoor comfort while elevating the aesthetic.
