Nearly 40% of office workers experience thermal discomfort, often due to cold hands. Tempo is a modular, intelligent hand-warming device designed for workspaces. Using a safe, radiant nanofabric made from carbon nanotubes, it delivers targeted warmth with low energy use. Compact, touch-safe, and efficient, Tempo replaces bulky space heaters with a quiet, minimalist solution that enhances comfort, saves energy, and adapts to individual needs.
