Razer is synonymous with boundary-pushing innovation at CES, and 2025 was no exception. Among their showstopping concepts this year was Project Arielle, the world’s first gaming chair to feature integrated heating and cooling. This prototype is not just about sleek design; it’s a step toward reimagining immersive comfort for gamers and professionals alike.
Modeled after Razer’s Fujin chair, Project Arielle incorporates a 3-Phase Brushless DC Motor, powering an advanced fan system that delivers smooth and continuous airflow. The chair focuses on regulating body temperature by directing air—heated up to 30°C or cooled to 5°C—to the neck, a key area for influencing the body’s overall temperature.
Rather than heating or cooling the entire chair, the design concentrates airflow where it matters most, offering a practical solution for comfort during various activities. Whether it’s staying warm on a chilly workday or cooling off during an intense gaming session, Project Arielle adapts seamlessly to your needs. All the while barely hearing a sound coming from the chair itself.
The ergonomic design also ensures premium comfort, and while Razer hasn’t hinted at adding immersive features, the concept opens the door to exciting possibilities, such as dynamic temperature changes reacting to in-game environments?
Project Arielle was one of the most innovative prototypes on display at CES 2025. While it’s uncertain whether this concept will hit the market, it’s clear that Razer’s vision for the future of gaming chairs is as bold as ever. Here’s hoping Project Arielle makes it past the prototype stage because we want one now!
