Description

‘How to Stay Cool?’ explores an experimental, sustainable alternative to air conditioning. A double-sided textile louvre curtain uses indirect evaporative cooling to lower room temperature effectively without increasing humidity, integrating seamlessly into interiors. Combining furniture design and low-tech cooling creates new eco-friendly, comfortable climate solutions. Sustainable materials and aesthetic form enhance living comfort while reducing CO₂ emissions.
