Eave seamlessly integrates the elements of Jiangnan water town scenery with modern smart home technology.

The design inspiration comes from the natural landscape of Jiangnan water towns, employing curved and streamlined forms to vividly depict stone arch bridges, flowing water, and East Asian hip-and-gable roofs. This creates a serene picture of "bridges over flowing streams and households," embodying the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. The imitation stone texture surface treatment faithfully reproduces the natural characteristics of Jiangnan stone bridges and grounds, creating an atmosphere that blends Eastern aesthetics with modern technology. Users can experience the tranquillity and harmony of nature while enjoying smart home products.

Emphasising user-centricity, the interface is designed to be easy to understand and operate for users of all ages within the household: home appliances can be remotely controlled via the control panel or app; the knob indicator light on the panel visually represents device status such as colour temperature and air quality through different colours and lighting effects, enhancing the convenience of information acquisition. An additional elderly care mode utilises a self-developed millimetre-wave sensor to monitor abnormal actions like falls, with the knob indicator emitting a flashing red light and promptly notifying caregivers, demonstrating consideration for special groups. Moreover, Eave allows users to monitor the real-time energy consumption of home appliances using the control panel or mobile application, enabling effective home energy management and further meeting modern users' expectations for smarter, more eco-friendly, and user-friendly home products.
