Live’n’Breathe

Preventing air pollution in the domestic space Life in an urban environment have perfected our ability to hermetically seal our homes to dust, pollution, and odors. But although it seems that we have managed to create a clean and safe space and leave air pollution outside, the disturbing truth is that we have trapped it inside. The air in our homes is five times more polluted than the air outside, and the need for a home purifying air system is stronger than ever. Breathe’n’Live is a home air purification and enrichment system based on microalgae’s ability to adsorb carbon dioxide and harmful particles and produce oxygen. The system was created with the aim of improving our quality of life, to offer an alternative ecological solution to the popular filters available on the market, and to revive the symbiosis between us and nature by incorporating a living microorganism at the center of our home and life.
