Product name: AIReactor
Designer/brand: ecoLogicStudio

This biotechnological air purifier, is an indoor photobioreactor capable of absorbing carbon dioxide and pollutants while oxygenating the air. A completely reversible product, it’s core elements can be re-used, re-cycled or composted at the end of their useful life. The photobioreactor hosts up to 10 litres of living photosynthetic micro-algae cultures.

Air is captured from the environment and introduced at the base of the reactor, constantly stirring the medium, simulating the effects of waves and currents in the marine environment. The gentle bubbling keeps the algae afloat, aids oxygenation and produces a soothing sound that emanates with the fresh oxygen from the AIReactor into the surrounding space. 

The algae harvest is a simple process that can be performed several times per week, collecting up to 7 grams of dry algae per day (one tablespoon). AIReactor has the same carbon capturing potential of a mature tree and it’s engineered to be a carbon neutral product in its entire lifecycle.
