Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Kangoo Iron is a Sleek Device to De-Crease Your Time and Clutter

— July 13, 2012 — Art & Design
The irony about ironing is that the end product of a clean and well put together look can involve a rather fussy process. The Kangoo Iron aims to smooth out most of the bumps that come along with the finicky task through a streamlined design that exemplifies efficiency.

Right from the get-go, Wiktoria Lenart has provided a piece of equipment that retracts and stores remarkably compactly and can even be hung up in your closet next to your freshly pressed shirts. The glossy induction-headed surface is supported by sleek hinged metal legs for an ironing board that plugs into the wall itself for power.

The Ultradur plastic press is wireless, eliminating any irritating cords crossing your clothing. The Kangoo Iron is more effective and maneuverable than its older electric counterpart and looks a great deal cooler.
