Don’t you some times wish that the air you breathe inside your house should be more pure? Atleast that’s what the latest AC models backed with ion technology try to get your attention to. But how many of us can really afford these high-end air conditioners?
Now, there’s a cheaper and greener solution, which promises to revitalize you by refreshing your space indoor in a completely non-polluting, non-toxic manner! That’s Extend for you. A green gadget which exploits the much talked about ion technology and purifies the indoors of your sweet home.
Designed by Matteo Ragni, Extend comes from the house of industrial designer Sander Brouwer. The green gadget (as per its creators) purifies the air with negatively charged ions, which are released from its body. Extend is a sleek looking no-fuss gadget. Its flexibility allows itself to be used as both a fit in panel and a single-fit anywhere inside the house. It operates on solar power and very nicely compliments the little green corner within the four walls of your dwelling place. I guess it won’t be too much on your part then to extend yourself to newer possibilities and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
