Blowing Elica turns her on
Remember those lamps that can be turned on or off by a touch or a clap? The Elica lamp takes a different route to administer power into its soul, requiring you to blow it instead. Sexual innuendoes aside, this is a pretty neat idea but such an engineering design will confine the Elica lamp to non-airy places like an enclosed, air-conditioned bedroom. Imagine sleeping with the windows open, having the gentle breeze turning your lamp on and off the entire night. We doubt those living in the Netherlands will pick this up. The Elicam lamp uses lead free circuitry and easily disassembled parts in an effort to help reduce its impact on the environment. No idea on how much it costs though.

We designed the propeller and the switcher system to face the indoor windy problems. The propeller must spin more times and with a frontal airblow, not from a side or from a bottom/top. If you have such strong wind in your room during the night, i guess you wont sleep at all...we didnt experienced such problems with indoor airflows/winds.
At the moment it is a limited edition (250pieces)and it has not arrived on the market yet. We will sell it online for 150€, pre-orders or reservations are welcome. :)
