Rodrigo Capati is an Industrial Design student from RMIT University. His concept, Lotus Flow, is an air purification and lighting system that consists of flexible ‘petals’, that are constructed of a self–cleaning membrane to filter the air of dust, odours and airborne pollutants that are harmful to human health. Lotus Flow constantly monitors the quality of the air in a room, working in response to its environment and can be paired to a smart device.
