a humidifying function water box and snow cabinet by FOUR-TREE from italy

snow cabinet & water box A humidifying function box and cabinet.

The purpose is design humidifier without energy to solve the cold and dry climate problem inside the house,we want to put the oriental culture into our design such as"ZEN" base on itself acts and influence it will wake us feel the forgotten sensation also we hope via this design encourage the people take more care about the daily lives reduce dependence on nonrenewable source of energy.We designed this series of articles also has expansibility and high practicability.The shape is simple cost inexpensive and can be transformed.

Our idea actually is very simple.like the picture-snow cabinet-1,the"drawer"take it out put into the snow after few time the snow will thawing and snow water slowly overflow the front of the material,due to the influence of gravity the overflow water will be downward flow.but when it through other two materials the water modality will be change at last the cold and dry climate evaporated water soon. This design suitable for snowy district.Only the"drawer"is hollow the others is solid but each of the "drawer"can be easily disassembly so the overall is more randomicity and practicality,the user can choose a favorite placed to put the "drawer"of course the snow"drawer"always in the high layer. The snow water can down inclined the groove flow of charpie.After our test the concave side char pie will weaken the water flow,all of the charpies are made concave,the middle than the surrounding reduce 8mm.
The first material is porous man-made fibers,seeping water will not flow directly but piled up to the formation of water droplets.the fiber surface texture rendering 65 degrees it can makes the water droplets move faster achieve what we want the water “dot” state. The second material is kind of smooth and white membrane,the water will quickly drain away and leave trace and the trace will leave the "line". The third material is nonabsorbency white charpie,the water droplets dripping in the surface will become one but if it over the weight it will continue to flow down ultimately become the"face" Use the different materials it will change the path,form,rhythm of the water due to the different states of water the feelings of the observer is also different.
water not only the intermediate medium but also is the character,the water changes through different materials finally be unified.we are participators of circulate and also we are the scrutators,all we need to do just fill of the "drawer" put it back of cabinet and wait.Waiting for the water to play the physical laws of nature.The water from the points to the lines then become face and turned into points again,the water is movement or stillness it's a cycling until they are going to evaporate.Through indirect process we are thinking there may be some people through it to find contemplative and peace.

The water box is easy to use , the white part is pelelith,this material with many different sizes intrusions in the surface. This stone keep fixed by 4 lines they could keep the pelelith stay in the centre have a certain range of movement. What we need just press down it under the water and it will float up by itself and carry some water by those intrsuions they will evaparatipon through some times. What we want to point out is the relationship between human and water, human and nature ,human and their minds. Press down the stone under the water must wait for it float up.We hope through this simple interaction to let ourselves out of busy daily life ,relax and find a piece of quiet in our heart.

We design if the snow cabinet and water box works it must be started manually.The snow cabinet requires multiple transport snow into the "drawer";water box need to pressed down by hand.those are our aim,we may too focus on our work and forget the past we playing in the snow with friends or family,forget how happy when we playing with the water,so clam down and relax yourself.pick up the "drawer"that filled up snow and watch the water,the short-term "life",touch the stone floating in the water feel the life in you hand.
