C2™- Climate Control

C2™- Climate Control

The C2 Climate Control (2007) employs a patented, energy-efficient thermal technology to deliver both heating and cooling from a single, compact unit. Consuming just 1.5 amps of AC current, the C2 uses approximately 90% less energy than a typical space heater. At the optimal distance of 18″ from the user, this portable unit can increase air temperature by 32 degrees and decrease it by eight. Control the fan speed with a slide of the finger on the touchpad and change the direction of the airflow simply by adjusting the roller ball on top of the unit. The C2 not only improves your comfort level, it filters the air around you by intercepting particles of dust, pollen and dander as small as five microns. The filter can be removed for cleaning and likely won’t need to be replaced for the first few years of use. And, because the C2 is not a space heater, it doesn’t contain any exposed heating coils, chemicals or harmful emissions. No filling with water or recharging is necessary. The unit will shut itself off after four hours, as an added energy saver. UL listed and plugs into a standard 110v AC. The C2 Climate Control is a fully licensed product of Herman Miller®, Inc.

Arne Jacobsen’s Cylinda Line

Arne Jacobsen’s Cylinda Line

Functional, elegant design and a pleasure to use! For decades, our clients have loved the Cylinda-line designed by the Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. Cylinda line design was originally based on using standard stainless steel pipes. This proved to be too costly, instead stainless steel sheets were used by bending and welding, then brushed in an industrial process leaving no trace of welding. The collection consists of 20 pieces, all cylindrical in shape, ranging from coasters to coffee pots, martini mixers and serving trays, and is represented in museum collections all over the world.
