There's far more to an air filter than a standard sheet of fine mesh. The filters and purifiers in the slideshow below prove that good, eco-friendly design is anything but boring.
From air filter architecture installed to clean up smog-filled cities to purifying eco showers that recycle your sud-filled water, these filters and purifiers are here to make the future a cleaner one.
Implications - With concerns about the harm society is imposing on the environment growing, more and more people are becoming aware of their impact on the world around them. However, social good does not mean sacrificing style, and these designs demonstrate that companies can incorporate panache into their products while ensuring that their organization is not harming the environment.
