By Home Furnishings Business in Home Office on June 2007 Office and residential furniture maker Herman Miller, Zeeland, Mich., aims to make desktop temperatures cooler with a new C2 Climate Control device that it says solves one of the most vexing issues in work spaces—personal temperature control.

The $300 device, which is 10-inches high and weighs about 2.5 pounds, can lower the temperature immediately around it by eight degrees under certain conditions, and it can also can be used to raise temperatures using technology in use in some car seats. Herman Miller officials said the so-called “cube cooler” uses 90 percent less energy than most space heaters. The C2 personal climate device claimed a silver design award at the opening of the NeoCon World Trade Fair in Chicago earlier this week.
