'LOTUS FLOW' AT ELECTROLUX DESIGN LAB

May 14th, 2014

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.
