QM weather.| Feel the Weather

Feel the weather

QM weather. is a new kind of IoT signage device
that takes the latest weather information from the internet,
and displays it in a visual way that allows you to “feel” the weather.

We have taken something as essential to our daily lives
as weather information,
and made it intuitive, sensory and beautiful.
Like an objet d’art in your home,
QM weather. brings the skies of the future, into your home.

Light colors will indicate temperature,
and the color setting/temperature ranges may be adjusted
to your preferences to suit the season/area you live in.
※ The weather cast information is obtained from OpenWeatherMap.

Colors of lights expresses
forecasted temperatures.

The colors are arranged in the decreasing order
of temperature: Red (highest) → Orange → White
→ Blue (lowest). For example, if the temperature
exceeds 30°C, the color changes to red.

It can also express a ”temperature
difference from the day before.”

For instance, if the temperature is 3 degrees lower
than the day before, the color changes to blue.

As interior piece
Not to forget your umbrella
To help you choose your outfit
When you’re in the office
Before heading out on your outdoor activity
At hotels and restaurants

Initial settings / Preferences can be adjusted
via smartphone app

“ATOM“ causes natural phenomena, “PIXEL“ conveys information on the internet. “Dot“ is a design element as a motif of the smallest unit. Weather icons are formed of aggregation of dots in different sizes.By reflecting a light emitted from the bot tom, icons appear as a floating carving of light.

QM, reads [kumu] and means “to collaborate“ in Japanese. While taking advantages of our wide range of expertise, such as business development, product design, software development, and branding. From start to finish, we collaborate with external partners to create heart warming everyday lifestyle products embedded with smart technology.
The weather icons are composed of lines made of dots, which conjures the period of QM weather.'s logo. Texts are composed with an original typeface by artless Inc., which is then placed under the icons in order to make them blend into the everyday life scenery in a casual matter.

artless Inc. is a branding agency based in both Tokyo and Kyoto. They perceive art and design as a visual language, and base our focal point on visual communication that expresses unseen concepts such as thoughts and principles, going beyond national borders and languages.
"Crests" are created with Japanese aesthetics and sensitivity based on nature as we saw from an ancient era. We have selected the crest of “sun” for sunny, “cloud” for cloudy, “umbrella” for rainy, and “snow crystal” for snowy as designs for weather icons. We hope you enjoy the Japanese symbols through this QM weather.

While Kyogen continues its traditional work around family crests for Kimonos, Kyogen also develops new designs for corporate and private use. Kyogen also collaborates with designers active in diverse fields in order to create new products that inc orporate family crests.
Weather big data are represented in peaceful minimal icons. They have no border but look like embroidered into the transparent matrix giving a sense of future craft manship. The light from the bottom hits the pattern and its different inclination angles reflect the beams in different ways giving a more glittering and lively effect.
