Japanese designer creates air humidifier that works without electricity

People who suffer from dry air, both in winter and in hot weather, often use an electronic device to help them breathe better and increase the humidity in the air. But have you ever thought about saving energy with something that doesn't need to be plugged in and that helps with rhinitis, sinusitis and all respiratory tract problems? That's right, an air humidifier that doesn't need energy to work. It seems hard to believe, since these items are known for being unkind to the environment, polluting and requiring a high consumption of electricity. However, Japanese designer Ryoki Ohashi created an air humidifier, called " Mast ", handmade from wood derived from hinoki (a cypress tree from the region), which is also elegant and has an incredible design.

In addition to all this, the humidifier releases a light forest scent, becoming an air freshener, combining its eco-friendly properties with a relaxing fragrance. The item costs 7,560 yen ($67.30) and can be purchased on the designer's website . Over time, the wood sheets can begin to permanently change color, and the candles also lose their ability to absorb water. But instead of ordering a new set, you can purchase extra candles for 864 yen ($7.70).
