Galaxy Outdoor Unit

Galaxy

Galaxy is an outdoor unit for a home central air conditioning system. Galaxy provides heating, cooling and hot water, and uses the environmentally friendly refrigerant R290. The modular panels can be installed, removed and maintained by one person, and hidden buckles keep the outer surface unbroken. The panels are made of recycled plastic based on marine waste and are left unpainted. Graphene is applied to the heat exchanger fins for resistance to corrosion, weather and aging. The dark gray body with a star pattern suits many outdoor settings.

Xelent Modular Switch Panel

Xelent

Xelent is a modular switch panel for smart homes. The panel combines a 2.8 mm ultra thin frame with a patented magnetic snap fit system, so the surface sits flush with the wall within plus or minus 0.2 mm. A modular 31.7 mm grid supports 4, 6 or 8 key layouts for different rooms. A time of flight sensor detects users from 10 to 100 cm and supports proactive control instead of passive response. A temperature algorithm forecasts changes and pre-adjusts heating and cooling. The eye care lighting system raises brightness gradually over three seconds.

Plants Rhythm Air Conditioner

Plants Rhythm

Plants Rhythm is an air conditioner with an integrated planting module. Condensation water from the unit is collected inside and used to irrigate the plants. A detachable cover, made of a metal frame with a plastic grid, allows air to pass and supports plant growth. The transparent cover on the sphere can be rotated so the plants are easy to replace. The plants release oxygen in light and help improve air quality. A built-in light switches on in low light and can be used at night. The design reuses water that is normally discharged.

Marble patterns are reproduced with digital structure and positioned glue grit technology, which gives a soft and realistic stone feel. The large 1200 by 2700 millimetre format allows seamless tiling and suits rooms with high ceilings. The aim is to make marble slabs less cold and to bring a calm, natural atmosphere into living spaces.

Source 10 Control Terminal

Source 10

Source 10 is a smart home control terminal that manages, monitors and operates connected home devices from one platform. Four interaction modes are supported: a physical metal knob, voice commands, touch and a mobile application. The knob carries an embossed diamond pattern, and an indicator light uses different colors to give feedback. AI and IoT technology allow the terminal to learn user habits and adjust other devices automatically. The ultrathin 10 mm metal body is made using CNC machining, stamping and anodizing. Scattered wall controls are replaced by one unified device.

Inno Air Louvre Air Conditioning Outdoor Unit

Inno Air Louvre

Inno Air Louvre is an outdoor unit for heat pump air conditioners. The design takes inspiration from window louvres, and the blades can rotate and close individually. Air is released over a wide angle. When a passing pedestrian is sensed, the nearest blades rotate or close automatically, so hot or cold air is not directed at people. The blades return to the normal position once the pedestrian has left. When the unit is not in use, the louvre closes to keep out dust and rainwater. The heat exchanger fins are made of graphene and the fan blades are made of bamboo.
