# Naturalistic Designer Air Conditioners The 'Heir' Air Conditioning Unit is Aesthetically Stunning By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-11-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-conditioning-unit References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2016/11/07/introducing-appliance-decor/) & [debaserdesign](http://www.debaserdesign.com/) The [traditional design of air conditioning units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-conditioning-system) is often focused on being somewhat monolithic, so the 'Heir' design aims to change this. Created by Debaser Design, the 'Heir' air conditioner is a [freestanding air conditioner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoflow-wave-3) that is stylistically modern and that can be highlighted or hidden in a space, depending on preferences. The 'Heir' is crafted using a mix of wood and stone, which liken the unit to a work of art rather than an appliance for keeping you comfortable during hot weather. The modern consumer is quickly growing to be unsatisfied with the [boring design of traditional products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windmill-air-purifier) like air conditioning units. The 'Heir' identifies how designers are creating new iterations of classic products to satisfy a growing demand for style and upscale aesthetics in the modern retail market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Stylish Air Conditioning Units:** Designers are creating visually appealing air conditioning units that satisfy the demand for style and upscale aesthetics. - **Multifunctional Home Appliances:** Home appliances are being designed with a focus on multifunctionality that combines utility with aesthetics. - **Sustainable Air Conditioning Units:** Air conditioning units are being designed with sustainable materials and energy-efficient technology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Appliances Industry:** The home appliance industry can develop and market multifunctional appliances with an emphasis on aesthetics. - **HVAC Industry:** The HVAC industry can redesign air conditioning units with sustainable, eco-friendly materials. - **Furniture Industry:** The furniture industry can incorporate stylish air conditioning units that blend seamlessly with interior design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-artcool-gallery.md) - [Stylish Sustainable Heat Pumps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-air-and-blond.md) - [Sleek Aesthetic Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mijia-air-conditioner.md) - [Artful Multifunctional AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artcool.md) - [Sleek Air Conditioning Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emura.md) - [Terracotta AC Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nave-air-conditioning-system.md) - [Artistic Minimalism Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeroview-air-purifier.md) - [Moss-Covered Air Conditioners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/july-ac.md) - [Style-Influenced Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bauhaus-air-purifier-concept.md)
