TerraMound

TerraMound is a desktop cooling fan that draws its intelligence from the earth and from the creatures who’ve mastered thermal design long before us. Inspired by the natural ventilation systems found in termite mounds, it combines modern technology with elemental materiality.

At its heart is a porous ceramic body, paired with a planter. As water evaporates through the clay, it gently cools the surface — while a low-energy fan circulates the cooled air, creating a soft breeze that feels natural and grounding. Together, they form a small ecosystem — part machine, part material, part plant.

More than just a fan, TerraMound is a sensory experience. It invites slowness. It brings green into your line of sight. It cools with intention — using less, doing more, and reminding us that comfort doesn't have to come at the cost of connection. A breath of air shaped by water, earth, and design.
