Concept

To give it a reserved form and a sense of grandiosity, we used a simple but huge circular display screen. We designed the "maybe too large" display screen to show the overwhelmingness that bang&olufsen usually shows and to make it feel like you are standing in front of a gigantic moon.

The round display that takes up about 1/3 provides information such as indoor&outdoor weather and air pollutedness throught the IOT technology. It can also serve as an interior design or object by using personal setup that goes along with the house interior.

IOT technology

Through the IOT technology, Smart I has become the air conditioner for all seasons, not just for summer. It indicates and manages the inside air pollution and humidity. It also informs the outside weather or fine dust via display, thereby providing the customers with pleasant indoor environment.
