Technology going ecofriendly is the best one could ask for. But if it brings foliage straight into your house-Bingo! Sara Rossbach has planted an innovative green concept for today’s energy consuming lifestyle. She has come up with a décor for your window that is dubbed as Leaf Shade. Leaf Shade utilizes sun’s energy to power up a house and at the same time acts as a screen to keep away the glaring sun. This leafy shade too just like real leaves absorbs the sun rays.

But the shade doesn’t prepare food for itself. It is tweaked to power your home with solar energy instead. Made of two layers, the prime solar film layer is fitted with a battery and does the actual job of energizing your abode with all the goodness of the sun. The other layer is fabric that is dressed with cutouts that give an impression of sunlight passing through the leaves. With the concrete jungles spreading like wildfire erasing all the greens from the face of the earth, this Leaf Shade would also remind you every moment to conserve our lush greens.

A very interesting and style of green décor and eco-energy, one would agree. This one’s a must have for every eco-lover!
