Reclaimed Ash Wood, White Oak Vaneer, Plywood and Steel
This product is designed to be a natural air purification system with out the use of electricity and is designed to optimize space for people who have limited room to grow plants and herbs. "Purifi" is a modular system that can stack as a tower and align into a vertical drainage system. Each pod can be placed in various parts of an interior space and can cater to specific lighting needs. With the guidance of NASA'S Clean Air Study the user can supply the structure with their choice of air purifying plants. These plants have been found to significantly purify chemical toxins that are common in every household, including, Trichloroethylene, Benzene, Formaldehyde, Xylene and Toluene. These chemicals have been linked to various health issues and surround us in our homes and work spaces daily. In the Clean Air Study, NASA'S researchers concluded that efficient air cleaning is accomplished with at least one plant per 100 square feet of said location. "Purifi" has eight planter pots that can accommodate 2-4 plants per pod and cleans 800 - 1600 square feet in total.
