Cooling fans are essential for the warm weather months to provide heat relief but quickly contribute to a cluttered space when summer is over, so the conceptual 'Brisé' table fan is designed to help change this.
The side table has an elegant design that draws inspiration from a ballet dance movement and is intended to hide the components inside of the unit instead of having them out in the open. This enables the furniture piece to provide cooling heat relief during the summer months and transforming into a functional side table when the temperature drops.
The conceptual 'Brisé' table fan is the design work of Wonho Lee, and is the winner of the Red Dot Design Award 2020, Spark Design Platinum Award 2020, A’Design Silver Award 2020 and the K-Design Award 2020.
