Legrand Reveals a Future Concept at Futur en Seine: Flocoon, Gentle Gestures for Controlling your Home

Limoges, France (ots/PRNewswire) -

At "Futur en Seine", the 5th edition of the International Digital
Festival, Legrand presents their newest visionary project, Flocoon.
This family of conceptual products creates a new relationship between
home controls and end users and offers a simple and intuitive
experience through gentle gestures.

Electric commands enter a new era

Like a concept car, the Flocoon family of home controls shows the
direction of future. Technology takes back stage and gives space to
an intuitive interactive experience where the focus is on the
relationship between human and product.

The fluid design of the objects suggests the user to interact with
natural gestures through intuitive shapes. Dressed with a soft
silicone they invite to be touched. The controls themselves offer
simple basic functionalities that can then be enhanced through the
use of a smart phone or tablet.

Inspired by nature, the Flocoon family creates a new design
language for home controls. They become a kind of a second skin that
delicately dresses the walls. They offer a natural and easy interface
that blends seamlessly together with the lifestyle of today.

A variety of futuristic products

The Flocoon family gives freedom to the user to place the commands
anywhere they want : on the wall, on furniture, in wet spaces ...Each
product has a specific shape related to its functionality:

PAD - A gentle tap on the surface of the product is enough to
activate the control.

UP-DOWN - an intuitive dimmer control that not only works as an on
| off control, but offers a smooth dimming functionality through a
sliding motion.

WARM-ME - an intuitive thermostat that responds to natural
gestures. To warm up a space, the user needs to cover the control for
a moment with their hand to indicate that they desire a slight
increase in temperature. If the need is to cool down the area, they
can gently blow on the surface.

SKY-VIEW - the ultimate mood enhancer of any space. This unit can
project animated images on the ceiling of the space to reflect the
weather outside or liven up the atmosphere of a special event by
abstract images according to the theme.

MASTER TREE - The branches of the tree connect to different spaces
of the home and can be individually controlled. At the root of the
tree lies the master switch that can turn all controls on and off all
at once.
