electric fans, a blessing in the summer, tend to occupy more space than their short yearly use justifies. jiyoun kim studio developed ‘conbox’ in an effort to merge aesthetics and functionality into a single unit capable of extended storage.

 

‘conbox’ offers wireless power, with various air functions controlled via app. the device can be collapsed entirely and stored, as well as assembled to two heights. ‘conbox’ was designed by seoul-based jiyoun kim studio
