The 'Air-Tree' is a unique home-cooling contraption that can double as a coffee table.
Designed by Euikyun Koh, the Air-Tree is able to reduce energy consumption, which makes it good for the environment. It works by spreading cold air 360 degrees throughout the home it is in. It can also be put on a lower setting that makes it only cool its direct surroundings -- reducing energy consumption in the instance that the user does not require air conditioning throughout their entire house. The device is cylindrical in shape and has a wooden top that allows it to function as a coffee table if necessary.
This device is simultaneously cost-effective and has a stylish design, making it excellent for people living in warm climates.
