Tree Branch-Inspired Desk Fans

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Green House Branch Fan Marries Nature and Science

— August 8, 2012 — Tech
The ‘Green House’ Branch Fan is a playful and modern take on a useful everyday accessory. Created by Japanese brand Green House, which specializes in creating USB products, the Branch Fan is a desk top fan that can be powered by USB cable or battery. This adaptability makes it extremely convenient.

The fan is designed like a log or tree branch and comes in three different colors: blue, pink and white. Oddly, the brand did not make a Branch Fan that comes in brown or a wood finish. The device also has settings that allow users to control the direction and strength of the fan.

By adding a sponge to the filter of the fan, one can add in aroma oils and have a splendidly scented sit-down at the computer. Alternatively, one can choose to use the Branch Fan as a simple unscented desk fan. Whichever way you choose to use it, this gadget is both sleek and functional.
