Description
LUMAIRE is a calm desk companion—a functional sculpture that seamlessly unifies four elements into a single, cohesive design:
- Gentle, Whisper-quiet Desk Fan that provides a subtle, soothing breeze.
- Levitating Kinetic Top that serves as a captivating, magical conversation piece.
- Warm Ambient Light that reflects a living, candle-like aura.
- Integrated Desk Lamp that casts a focused wash of light down onto your workspace.
Designed as a premium object rather than a gadget, it brings subtle airflow, atmosphere, and a touch of magic to the desk.
This is an advanced, boutique build intended for makers who enjoy assembly KIT-s, electronics (soldering required), and refined mechanisms.
Please review the bill of materials carefully before starting.

⚙️ Engineering & Design Insights
- Intelligent Packaging (Custom Internal Gearing): To maximize airflow channels and keep the chassis compact, the PWM speed controller was rotated vertically using a custom, 3D-printable 1:1 bevel gear drive.
- Diffused, Continuous Breeze: Rather than a harsh direct blast of air, the internal ducting and micro-textured mesh split the airflow into a soft, whisper-quiet micro-breeze that keeps your desk comfortable without scattering your papers.
- Purpose-Driven Form Factor: The elevated tripod architecture isn't just a mid-century aesthetic choice—it raises the chassis to allow the integrated down-light to throw a wide, warm pool of light across your workspace.

⚠️ Important Note: Component Compatibility
🔴 Exact type of PWM controller and KCD1 110 switches are required for proper fit and function. See below:
1x specific PWM controller (for the custom bevel gear mechanism):
- 2x specific KCD1 110 rocker switches (9.5×21 mm, correct shape) :
👉 Differences in size, shaft type, or geometry may:
- prevent proper assembly
- break mechanical alignment
- or not fit the housing at all
✅ Please use the exact models shown in the reference images or links (PWM controller LINK , KCD1 switch LINK) provided.
