Elegant electric fly-swatter decorates your home with its organic leaf-inspired design





It’s easy to look past its tennis racquet design and appreciate the fact that it doesn’t have zig-zag lines or lightning bolts on it.

The idea that an electric fly swatter is a pest-control device doesn’t mean it should look dangerous or inelegant. Meet Second White‘s Mosquito Swatter, a graceful little racquet that looks almost like a decorative dried leaf when poised vertically in its dock. However, when you have some cretins to kill, its unassuming design transforms into a weapon against mosquitoes and other bugs.

There isn’t anything functionally different about the Leaf Mosquito Swatter, unless you consider fitting well into modern homes a function. The Leaf Mosquito Swatter deliberately opts for an elegant decor-ish aesthetic as opposed to the industrial design often seen in most traditional mosquito swatters, so much so that it makes form a part of its function. Sure, a swatter’s job is to kill mosquitoes, but just like Philippe Starck’s Dr. Scut Fly Swatter, the Leaf Mosquito Swatter also makes sure its design is something you can show off instead of hiding it somewhere under your bed or behind your side-table. It does its job effectively but also does it elegantly… sort of like the art of Shaolin as compared to just flinging bricks at your enemies.

Hold the Leaf Mosquito Swatter in your hand and it looks like an accessory, not a bug-zapping weapon. This deliberate design direction allows the Leaf to perfectly sit on mantelpieces, counter-tops, and atop coffee tables. When you need, grab the swatter and work your magic, and when you’re done, rest it in its dock and it assumes the appearance of objet d’art.

The Leaf Mosquito Swatter comes with a pretty nifty vertical resting dock that does much more than let you put the swatter on display. Dock the Leaf and switch it from handheld mode into standalone mode and two UV lights kick in, attracting bugs and mosquitoes to the Leaf’s electric mesh. The zapper stays on in this mode, instantly killing mosquitoes without you needing to locate them and wave your hands around.

Ideally, the dock would also serve as a charging hub for the Leaf, but turns out that isn’t the case. To charge your swatter, simply plug a regular USB-C cable into the swatter’s handle and its internal battery begins charging. I guess the lack of a charging feature in the dock is because it allows the dock to be completely wireless, letting you put it anywhere. Given its ability to be used as a hands-free mosquito killer, the dock’s wireless nature actually makes it a bit of a boon, allowing you to take it to any part of the house or even outside during barbecue weekends. Whether it’s indoors or outdoors, the Leaf has a way of looking like simple, sophisticated, contemporary home decor. It uses single solid colors, relying on the veiny leaf pattern to actually serve as the visual element. Minimal yet expressive… not the words you’d normally use to describe an electric fly swatter, but then again, that’s what sets the Leaf apart!

The electric toothbrush gets a chic, lush, forest-essentials makeover

Just because 9 out of 10 dentists recommend you use an electric toothbrush doesn’t mean toothbrushes need to look like specialized dental equipment. Meet the Forest Electric Toothbrush, a lush-looking tropically styled toothbrush that sits well with your expensive shampoos, conditioners, and bath bombs. The Forest Electric Toothbrush ditches the usual design language and color scheme previously set by brushes made by dental companies for something more in keeping with the relaxing style of a well-decorated bathroom. Simple lines, a texture inspired by a forest of overarching trees, and a glorious olive-green color makes the Forest Electric Toothbrush stand out, but in a way that also complements your space.

By relooking the very design language of the toothbrush, the Forest Electric Toothbrush helps change the mindset of the person using it by evoking a sense of calm, freshness, and indulgence… much like the clear difference in the experience of using a clinical shampoo versus something from Bath and Bodyworks. The Forest brush comes with a single-button interface and features a standard interchangeable head system. It even comes with a minimally designed wireless charging dock that’s as simple and refreshing looking as the brush itself!

This portable blender is as easy on the eyes as it is to use!

What are the two primary requirements from a portable blender? First, to blend the contents thoroughly yet efficiently, and second, to remain compact enough to be portable, so it’s pretty key that any portable blender nails these two aspects! The Portable Blender from the team at Second White certainly has both these areas covered; much like the assortment of beautiful products that Second White has launched in the past, this concept shares the same elegant beauty and honest functionality.

The sharp, aggressive form of the blade has been concealed by a sleeve that sits around the flask; the sleeve also breaks up the transparent container whilst introducing a splash of color to the product. It gracefully harmonizes with our busy day-to-day lives and encourages us to have a healthier lifestyle.

Sleep better with this humidifier and mood light in one

Humidifier2 aims to introduce a calming and tranquil environment by combining two atmosphere-creating functions! Packaged within the minimal, fuss-free exterior is both a soft mood light and gentle humidifier; the pairing of these two functions aims to enhance the user’s lifestyle by making their home a more comfortable place to be.

The graceful curves are beautifully contrasted by the repetitive lines of the translucent base, which have been chosen as they elegantly diffuse the light while adding an element of interest to the product. The introduction of a mood-light wasn’t just for enhanced visuals, but also to assist the user in achieving the perfect nights sleep; the soft lighting cancels out the intimidating darkness of the night, re-introducing a sense of familiarity into the room, this combined with the humidifier that creates a comfortable climate, leads to a sleep inducing environment.
