Wall-mounted air purifier designed to capture pollution in the air and make your home a pleasant place. Inspired by natural geometries and the current of spatialism, BREATHE makes your home not only cleaner, but fits into the space in a minimal and elegant way.

BREATHE is an air purifier equipped with RGB LEDs, designed to communicate the air quality of the surrounding environment and interact experimentally with the space. The red color of the light means that the air is polluted or saturated with CO2. When green light is projected, the air has reached an ideal level of quality. The sensors do not detect kitchen odors.

BREATHE fits into the space and can have customized formats for architecture with special needs.

The air that is sucked into BREATHE passes through four highest quality filters. The special body is a single piece of aluminum, obtained from a super-thin sheet and worked with CNC technologies.

An airgel base has been inserted to isolate the fans that rest on the heating system, spreading heat quickly, and protects the power cables in case of high temperatures.

The use of magnets makes the assembly and maintenance experience simple and quick.

The electronic heart of BREATHE is one with the power button, solid and equipped with haptic feedback. Built-in sensors detect the air quality around BREATHE.
