“Built upon the framework of the award-winning Razer Fujin Pro mesh gaming chair, this concept chair incorporates an innovative bladeless fan system designed to ensure optimal comfort, whether warming up or cooling down, without ever leaving the game,” Razer explains.
The concept itself isn’t entirely new in the home office space. X-Chair, for example, offers a battery-powered Elemax module that adds heating, cooling, and a massage function to its mesh chairs as an optional $150 add-on. In contrast, the current version of Razer’s Project Arielle is a plug-in solution. It will be interesting to see if that changes if and when the concept graduates into a shipping product.
All of this is controlled with a touch panel that’s attacked on the right side of the seat. And of course you can adjust Chroma (read: RGB) lighting effects too. This is Razer, after all.
It’s an interesting concept for sure, especially for anyone tired of the same old gaming chair aesthetic. While we haven’t sat in a Project Arielle demo model yet, or the Fujin Pro it’s based on, the design language is more closely akin to a traditional office chair.
