Snowflake Airflow Insert Collection

Designed by Samuel Meppen

Bring a little winter into your airflow.

The Snowflake Collection is a decorative HVAC insert designed to fit inside standard 4-inch ducts while showcasing the unique capabilities of TimeMass materials. Inspired by natural snowflake geometry, these lightweight structures create a striking visual effect while allowing air to pass freely through the pattern.

Each snowflake is manufactured using TimeMass materials and is available in two functional variants:

Desiccant Snowflake

Designed for use with TimeMass Desiccant material, this version combines decorative design with moisture-management potential. The open hexagonal geometry maximizes surface area while maintaining unrestricted airflow.

Passive Cooling Snowflake

Printed using TimeMass Passive Cooling material, this version is designed to complement airflow systems while demonstrating the possibilities of next-generation programmable materials.
