FEATURES

Concept

A remote controller that provides the functions you need in a sleek design that uniquely transforms itself to blend with any interior.

When not in use, it’s a part of the interior design.

When in use, it’s a simple, intuitive remote controller.

Only during times of operation is display information visible. The rest of the time, KAGAMI subtly appears as a mirror on your wall.

Harmonizes with the Installation Space

The design goal was to create a controller that is considered interior décor. This was achieved through the use of mirrors, glass, and layered elements that produce a frosted clear panel that appears to float. The end result, KAGAMI, feels as if it is one with the wall.

The sleek and stylish design won the 2022 Good Design Award and was selected as a finalist for the 2023 IDEA award.

Limited Visibility of Settings


KAGAMI features a function that enables hotels and other clients to “hide” settings from the displays so that their guests cannot change system settings.

Settings are possible through the smartphone app via BLE* connection to the remote controllers. (Settings can also be adjusted manually on the remote controllers as usual.)
