LEVIO - Levitating Plant
What material is Levio made out of?
The planter and the base are made of sustainably sourced oak-veneer finished with natural oil for wood.
How does levitation work?
Levio floats freely in mid-air via magnetic levitation thanks to electronic mechanism inside the platform.
How do I levitate my Levio?
You need just a few seconds to make your Levio fly. First connect the A/C adaptor to the base. Then take the planter with both hands. Lower the planter over the center of the base and release it gently when you feel no gravity. You will see the planter floating over the base. If the planter fails to levitate, avoid forcing it in the center of the base of moving side to side. Just raise it above the base and try again.
What happens in case of a power shortage?
In case of a power shortage, the planter will simply lower back to the base. Just place the planter product back in levitation once power is restored.
