A dirt-loving wand and an electrostatic fan promisr to keep your room dust-free
Du.static is a magic wand which sucks dust out of the air using — you guessed it — static electricity. It could also be the last home appliance I will ever need.
Won Suk Lee’s concept design uses two technologies. A fan sucks air into the elegantly-curved base-station, where it is drawn through an electrostatic filter. The clean air exits, leaving less dust to swirl in motes and settle into dust-bunnies.
The second part is an electrostatic wand. Pull it from the top of the base-station like a domestic Excalibur from an interior-decoration-like stone and it goes to work. You wave the wand over shelves and even fluffy clothes like a neat-freak TSA officer, and it picks up dust. Then, when held over the trashcan, you cut the power and the dust should drop into the garbage.
It’s something I sorely need. Here’s a photo I snapped a moment ago. It shows the hellish underworld beneath my desk:
I know, I know. I should be ashamed
Nasty, right? But the Du.static probably can’t help. I got into this mess because I am too lazy to pull the vacuum cleaner out from behind the, well, whatever it sits behind in the closet I never open. If I have to use a wand to manually remove dust, I’ll probably never do it. A real shame.
If only somebody would invent a small robot that moved autonomously around the house and cleaned the floors…
