Compact, Clean and Cozy AC
It’s not enough that your home’s AC should keep you comfy! It should also keep you healthy. The Hybrid Air conditioner aims to do just this by supporting the room climate but also the air quality.
In order to keep room quality constant at all times, an integrated filter cleans both the internal room air and inflowing outside air. Furthermore, this air conditioner features an innovative self-cleaning function. Thanks to UV light and integrated brushes, the filters get cleaned and disinfected regularly. (Because, let’s face it… we’re going to forget to do it!)
Subtle and compact, it’s also designed to integrate seamlessly into your interior style!

From dropping the beat to dropping the heat!
From what I reckon, Bang and Olufsen are doing pretty well for themselves in the Hi-fi audio business. I wouldn’t imagine them expanding their product range for business purposes any time soon, but it costs nothing to wonder, does it? What if B&O made air conditioners? Luckily for me, someone already asked themselves that question and embarked on a journey to envision what a B&O AC would look like.
The best way to describe the concept design is grand. Seamlessly capturing Bang and Olufsen’s signature ‘boolean’ style, the AC makes use of bold geometric shapes with a larger-than-life outlook. The display for instance is much bigger than necessary, but that’s how B&O roll! The circular display not only showcases relevant product information, it also gives a visual indication of the weather forecast, something pretty neat, because in an air-conditioned environment, it’s pretty difficult to tell what the actual weather is like. Full marks for nailing the design language, but extra marks for the additional user experience!

Sony’s hi-res turntable and software make it easy to go digital
Cool, redefined.
However ugly they are, window air conditioning units can be a total lifesaver for those without central built-in AC. Noria is significantly smaller and easier to install than these bulky window ACs we all know (and hate!). In fact, it’s 40% smaller than existing units, while achieving 5,000 BTU cooling capacity. For easy, intuitive use, it offers smartphone connectivity and control. Besides being easier to install, light weight, and simple to use, it’s also MUCH more visually attractive than ugly, obtrusive designs currently on the market!

The Noria Air Conditioner Is Not An Eye Sore
If you’re in a warmer climate at the moment, we’d like to invite you to take a look at your air conditioner. If you’re like most people, it’s one of those window-mounted boxes, utilitarian in its design. Utilitarian is just a tactful way to say ‘ugly’, but hey, you have to stay cool, right? Well, the Noria Air Conditioner begs to differ. At just 6 inches tall, the unit is designed from the ground up to look good in your window. It blows cool air upwards, creating a convective cycle in your room that prevents hot or cold areas. At 5,000BTU/h, it’s powerful enough to cool a 10’x16′ room, or two Noria units can cool a room up to 330 sq ft. And like many appliances these days, it can connect to your smartphone and allow remote operation of multiple units simultaneously. Early Bird pricing is $249, and with 43 days to go and more than half-funded, we expect the company to be able to meet its goal. If it does, you’ll then have to wait until March 2017 to get your hands on yours.
