Bel-Air plant-powered indoor filtration system

Mathieu Lehanneur’s indoor air filtration system pulls in filthy air to be processed through a plant’s leaves, roots, and humidity, reintroducing purified air back into the room.

Bel-Air is a mini mobile greenhouse that continuously inhales the space-polluted air, forces it through three natural filters (the plant leaves, its roots, and a humid bath) before ejecting it, purified.

This patented principal has two advantages: Bel-Air is to the American and Asiatic common filter appliances what Dyson is to regular vacuum cleaners. Here, the noxious particles are captured, and transformed inside the system. No more filters to change, and no more clogs.
