Plant-shelf with textured glass helps add greenery and a sense of mystique to your interior space


The textured design helps obscure the plants in a way that creates visual drama, while also creating a mini greenhouse of sorts that allows sun to reach the plant’s leaves in a wonderful, diffused manner.

Meet Hazy, an office shelf that works as a planter-holder as well as a base for a whiteboard. With an aesthetic that’s best described (by the designer no less) as high-quality Nordic style, the Hazy has a clever way of being minimalist and clean. The shelf itself is rather simple to look at, with a choice between horizontal or vertical columns on which you can mount things. The vertical columns let you attach planters (simply by screwing them in place) one above each other, so that water trickles from the upper planters to hydrate the lower planters, and a fluted glass panel helps obscure the planters in an aesthetic and curiosity-engaging way, doing the job of frosted glass. If you want something more functional and utilitarian, switch over to the horizontal shelves and swap out the glass panel for a whiteboard and you have yourself something that’s much more productivity-focused.

Hazy creates a building block of office furniture that can be used in a variety of ways. You can have multiple units in your office, with some being planter-holders, and others being shelves with whiteboards. Wheels on the base of the Hazy let you move it around, orienting it in ways that either help decorate or dissect your office space into smaller chunks. Hazy was designed by Italy-based Studio TZEN for Onmuse, a global interior decor brand.

Air Purifying Window that uses sunlight to purify your home also creates a Foggy Screen to retain your privacy

After spending a year quarantined with three roommates, the air quality in our apartment, if you can imagine, has grown quite stuffy. The solution seems simple: crack open a window. That’s true, we could do that, but giving our neighbors a clear view into our home does not sit well with any of us. For my roommates and I specifically, we have the bad luck of having large windows that look out onto a frequently traveled hallway, which gives our neighbors a clear window into our apartment.

Privacy or fresh air? That is the compromise that many apartment dwellers — especially those with ground-floor units — face. The Hazy Air Purifier is a window that ensures privacy while providing proper ventilation. How does it work? The device utilizes a new concept called HAZE, which uses sunlight to heat the air inside your home; this “heat haze” purifies the atmosphere and creates a foggy screen that obscures your interior living space from passing neighbors.

How does the Hazy air purifier fit into your living space? After all, windows come in all sizes. The designers fixed this issue with the Hazy’s height-adjustable frame. As long as your apartment has rectangular windows, the Hazy will likely be a perfect fit. Alternatively, the product also works as a standing unit; it doesn’t have to be fixed to the wall. Unfortunately, this method means losing out on the product’s main selling point: the hazy window effect. However, on its own, the Hazy air purifier’s unique shape won’t clash with your decor or clutter or living space, but may also attract some interested, quizzical questions from house guests.
