The Skymill, created by engineer Gustav Rosén in collaboration with Klong, translates weather data into a tactile experience using moving metal arms and light. This design seeks to revitalize our relationship with the outdoors, promoting environmental awareness and brain plasticity. By employing nine symbols that generate 35 daily combinations, Skymill encourages users to reconnect with nature. Rosén emphasizes the importance of meaningful design that combines functionality with artistry while advocating for objects that cultivate enduring appreciation and care for both people and nature.
As our everyday lives become increasingly digital, I felt a longing for something more tangible. People have long built complicated mechanical objects, both for function and for pure entertainment - everything from barometers to cuckoo clocks and music machines. With Skymill, I wanted to create something that respects the way we used to look at the sky. It doesn't reduce the weather to numbers on a screen, but lets you reconnect with it.
Our vision is to develop objects where function, material, and form merge into something valuable - objects that last, that people appreciate and never tire of. 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.
