Razer Unveils New Gaming Chair with Built-In Heater

Razer has unveiled its latest concept, Project Arielle, a gaming chair designed to revolutionize comfort with built-in temperature controls and, true to Razer’s style, eye-catching RGB lighting.

Building on the foundation of the Fujin Pro breathable mesh chair, Project Arielle incorporates a bladeless fan system to heat or cool the entire frame. Users can manage the three-speed fan settings and toggle between warm and cool airflow through a touchscreen control panel conveniently located on the side of the seat. Adding a dynamic visual element, the chair’s RGB lights along the edges of the seat and backrest shift from blue to red to reflect temperature changes.

The bladeless fan mechanism is housed in a cylindrical module positioned at the base of the backrest, resembling a compact tail. A power cable extends from this module, connecting to a sizable external power brick.

Razer claims the chair can reduce perceived temperatures by 2 to 5 degrees Celsius in dry conditions. For colder days, the chair’s energy-efficient, self-regulating heater can produce warm air up to 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit).

Although Project Arielle is currently just a concept, Razer has a history of bringing experimental designs to market. For example, the Project Esther haptic gaming cushion debuted at CES 2024 and hit shelves as the Razer Freyja less than a year later. This track record suggests that Project Arielle might one day become a reality for gamers seeking the ultimate in immersive comfort.
