AER
A New Approach to Home Air Filtration
Aer is a material-forward design solving for sustainable and affordable home air filtration.
Aer embraces the inherent values and versatility of charcoal by using it as a compostable bioplastic housing and a filtration solution.
Aer elegantly solves two essential problems: accessible home air filtration and removing plastic from the consumer product lifecycle.
The final result is an innovative and affordable design solution based on a circular economy framework.
