German Design Awards Winner 2024: Midea PortaSplit

An inspiring interview with Paolo Lorini, Head of MMDC RAC team and Ezequiel Matias Varani, Senior Industrial Designer of the MMDC RAC team of the award-winning company Midea Residential Air-Conditioning Division at the German Design Awards 2024.

Description of "Midea PortaSplit":
Midea PortaSplit is an innovative and versatile portable air conditioning system that redefines cooling and heating performance, rivaling that of fixed AC units, but without the need for permanent installation. It consists of an indoor and outdoor unit connected via a flat flexible pipe, requiring only a small window opening. Its design is characterised by a simple, controlled geometry with elegant proportions and refined colours and finishes, perfectly suitable for a variety of home interiors.

Statement of the jury:
The mobile air conditioning unit 'Midea PortaSplit' impresses with a pleasantly clean, functional design and can be used flexibly and easily wherever it is needed and where an external window sill or balcony is available.
