The Challenge
We wanted to create something simple yet powerful, a connected device that could monitor temperature and humidity without feeling too technical or complicated.
At that time, the market was already full of smart sensors. Some were bulky and industrial, while others were small but basic, often providing only raw data with little attention to user experience or design. Many lacked long battery life, app integration, or the reliability needed for professional use. In short, there were plenty of sensors, but few that people actually liked using or trusted for the long term.
Our challenge was to design something that stood out from the crowd, a product that combined laboratory-level precision with a friendly, everyday look. It needed to be compact, long-lasting, easy to connect, and visually appealing enough to fit comfortably in any space, from a modern apartment to a greenhouse.
We wanted AirComfort to be more than just another device. It had to be a tool people could depend on daily, simple, smart, and beautifully made.
Our Approach
We started by rethinking what a smart environmental sensor could be. Instead of sticking to the typical boxy designs seen in the market, we looked back at familiar, meaningful shapes. Our inspiration came from the classic mercury thermometer, a symbol of measurement and trust, and from the gömböc, a mathematical form known for its perfect balance.
From these ideas, AirComfort took shape. It has a smooth, vertical design that feels stable and natural. The minimal design allows it to blend into any environment, yet it is versatile enough to stand on a surface or hang using its built-in hook.
Inside its simple exterior, there is serious engineering. Our team developed a high-accuracy sensing system that can read temperatures from -25°C to 70°C and humidity from 0% to 100%, with excellent precision. It connects wirelessly through Bluetooth to iOS and Android devices, syncing data automatically to a cloud platform. Users can track real-time readings, set refresh rates, and view long-term data directly through a companion app we also created.
When we compared it to existing products, AirComfort consistently outperformed the market average in accuracy, reliability, and ease of use. Most sensors at the time needed frequent battery changes or offered limited data storage. AirComfort, on the other hand, can run for at least a year on a single button cell and store up to 100 days of readings.
We also concentrated on sustainability and repairability. The housing was designed for easy disassembly, avoiding glued parts so that users can replace components or recycle materials when needed.

The Result
AirComfort became more than just a temperature and humidity sensor. It set a new standard for smart environmental monitoring by combining precision, simplicity, and design.
In a market where most devices felt either too industrial or too disposable, AirComfort stood out. It offers professional-grade accuracy in a compact, elegant form, with long battery life and full app and cloud integration.
Beyond tracking temperature and humidity, AirComfort also provides deeper insights into the environment. It measures VPD to help monitor plant growth, Mold and Dew levels to prevent dampness and mold, and THI to track heat stress in plants and animals.
Recognized with the German Design Award, Design for Asia Award, and A’ Design Award, AirComfort shows that thoughtful engineering and design can make even a small device truly impactful. It fits quietly into people’s lives, making everyday experiences just a little better.
