Video Animation: YouTube - bel air lehanneur robillard
Designed by Mathieu Lehanneur and david edwards of harvard university, andrea is an air purifier which uses indoor plants to filter air. originally known as bel air, the design has gone through a number of tests in order to make it available to consumers with updated features. It is said that the air we breathe in the places where we live and work can often be 5 to 10 times more noxious than walking on the street, along with the dangerous chemicals found in commonly used household products.
Andrea is a response to counter our domestic pollution, by putting a green lung with enhanced capacities to filter the air and capture toxic particles into our homes. It enables the de-pollution of indoor air through the leaves and roots of the plant which is housed inside the unit. The best performing plants are those which are actually quite common, including spath or peace lily, red-edged dragon tree, spider plant and aloe vera.
