Slide Nostril integrates a socket and switch in the one product. It allows the electricity flow to an appliance to be turned on and off simply by sliding the plug up or down.

In order to save electricity when leaving the house, many people pull out the plugs of appliances that are to be switched off. Slide Nostril avoids this. To intercept the power supply, the plug within Slide Nostril is simply pushed upwards or downwards – down turns the power off, up turns it on. This easy-to-use socket also indicates whether an appliance is on or off via colour. A green panel is shown when the appliance is switched off.
