Living in urban areas can be quite devoid of natural touches, which is seeing consumers opt for products and solutions that integrate a touch of nature into their space like the 'EcoQube C+.' Designed by Kevin Liang of Aqua Design Innovations, the unit works to continuously filter water through the system using aquaponic techniques that is supported by, and that also supports, aquatic life. This allows users to keep a touch of greenery in their living space or at their workstation along with a few small fish to help remind them of the natural world outside of their tech-infused lifestyles.
The 'EcoQube C+' can be customized with up to five different plants and is also integrated with a specialized light that mimics the solar and lunar cycles.
