AER

Home Air Filter - A Design & Material Innovation Concept

A New Approach to Home Air Filtration

Aer is a material-forward design solving for sustainable and affordable home air filtration.

Aer embraces charcoal's inherent values and versatility 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 affordable design solution based on a circular economy framework.
