From a sculptural water purifier by a Korean brand to zero-carbon quartz surface collection, here are some of the new arrivals in the market we love.

SLIM & SCULPTURAL
Korean water purifier brand Wells has launched its award-winning water purifier, The One, in Singapore. Dubbed as the world’s slimmest tankless water purifier, The One features a full-colour LCD screen encircled by an easy-to-use touch control panel.
Its six water temperature presets are engineered to maximise your beverage needs, including Cold Water, Room Temperature, Body Temperature (36.5 °C), Milk (50 °C), Tea (70 °C), and Coffee (85 °C) while its four volume options are 120ml, 250ml, 550ml and a continuous supply.
Wells The One is available in three colours and retails from $3,000 online and Tangs at Tang Plaza.
CARBON NEUTRAL
Cosentino has launched its first carbon-neutral Silestone collection. Inspired by the Mediterranean, Sunlit Days comprises five fresh colours: Faro White, Cincel Grey, Arcilla Red, Cala Blue and Posidonia Green.
The collection is manufactured using Cosentino’s HybriQ+ Technology, which uses 99 per cent re-used water from the production processes, 100 per cent renewable electric energy and a minimum of 20 per cent recycled raw materials in its composition.

EASY BREEZY
Blade-free fans are a boon for those of us with a secret fear of getting our fingers hurt by rotating fan blades. Mistral has taken it up a notch by rolling a blade-free fan with air purifying function in its all-new Mistral Blade Free Fan with Air Purifier (MBFAP500).
It eliminates up to 99.95 per cent harmful pollutants and particles soundlessly while providing airflow up to 120m per second –two birds, one stone!
Mistral Blade Free Fan with Air Purifier (MBFAP500) retails for $399 (promo price, while stock lasts, UP $599) at www.mayer.sg and major electronics stores, including Harvey Norman and Courts.
CORDLESS CONVENIENCE
LG takes the convenience of a cordless vacuum cleaner up a notch with the new LG CordZero A9 Kompressor Handstick Vacuum Cleaners.
The three models share innovative features such as the trademarked Kompressor technology for dust compaction that makes emptying the storage bin easy and LG’s proprietary Power Drive Mop that shortens cleaning time by vacuuming and moping simultaneously.
The battery life can run uninterrupted for up to 120 minutes. Another plus: you can monitor the machine remotely via the LG ThinQ app.
The LG CordZero A9 Kompressor Handstick Vacuum Cleaner retails from $799 at major electronic stores. Visit www.lg.com/sg for more information.
