The 'SkyMill' kinetic sculpture has been designed by Gustav Rosén as a charming, mechanical decor piece that will bring about a new kind of experience when it comes to the simple task of checking the weather conditions. The decor item is characterized by its metallic base that's paired with a series of physical indicators that will pop up according to the conditions. This includes the sun, a cloud, a breeze, lightning and more that will change throughout the day for a charming approach to the routine activity of seeing what the weather has in store.
The 'SkyMill' kinetic sculpture also works as an indoors air quality monitor and will alert the user to open the window for fresh air if high levels of pollutants are detected.
