The Upward Drift

The Lumiru is an intriguing concept that involves a fan and its upward drift. The basic premise is to draw inspiration from the winters of Nordic countries and mesh it with inexpensive materials and yet recreate a spectacular fan and mood element with the integrated light. As the designer explains, Lumiru works in essence the same way as a ceiling fan by blowing air to the roof causing a calm wind throughout the space.”

In apartments that don’t have much ceiling heights, this type of air circulation works both in a warming and cooling the space, depending upon the fan speed. Interesting!
