Gustav Rosén presents sculptural weather station
The Swedish designer and engineer Gustav Rosén in cooperation with the design brand Klong introduces Skymill, a sculptural, Weather station This transforms meteorological data into a kinetic home experience in real time. Skymill combines Scandinavian design, precision mechanics and ambient awareness and translates complex atmospheric changes into tangible movements. It is metal Arms and weather symbols shift and reflect conditions such as sun, clouds, rain, wind, thunder and fog, not as numbers on a screen, but as constantly changing performance of the sky. “With Skymill I wanted to create something that respects the way we used to look at the sky. It does not reduce the weather to numbers on a screen, but enables them to connect with it again. ' Says Gustav Rosén.

Skymill at the same time serves as a mood lamp in the pursuit of air quality
With its nine weather symbols, which can form over 35 clear combinations, Skymill acts as a mechanical weather display, which is continuously driven by updated real -time data. With a discreet physical button, users can change between the current weather and the forecasts for 3, 6, 9 hours or a whole day. Once activated, a soft light shines on top and doubles as a cozy mood lamp.
Stockholm is based Gustav Roséns design Moves a connection to a mobile app and enables users to monitor the weather anywhere at home – at home, at a holiday destination or even around the world. A slim diode display shows precise temperature values inside, while an integrated air quality sensor CO₂, dust and irritants pursue. When the air quality in the interiors drops under the recommended values, a small bird flies gently from a metal cage. “A modern allusion to the Canaries that were once used in mines to warn of dangerous gases.”

Connect to heaven again
Rosén, whose work moves between her and product design, was inspired by his lifelong fascination for mechanics and nature. The concept behind Skymill grew out of the desire to connect with the sky again in a more tactical way. “When our daily life becomes more and more digital, I was a longing for something more tangible. People have built long complicated mechanical objects both for function and pure conversation – from barometers to cuckoo watches and music machines. ' He shares.
The partnership with Klong was a natural fit. CEO Georg Hedendahl saw the potential of Skymill early and became an essential part of the project. “Our vision is to develop objects in which the function, material and shapes lead to something valuable – that most recently appreciates people, and never from tired. Our brand is based on care, from production to delivery – care for both people and nature. We only work with designers who dare to create their own expression without following trends.” says CEO von Klong, Georg Hedendahl.
