The Mirra 2 combines ergonomics and sustainability
Redesigned by Berlin-based Studio 7.5, the Mirra 2 chair from Herman Miller represents the perfect combination of function and innovation.
This is why Daan Roosegaarde and his studio are building the Smog Free Tower, the largest air-purifier in the world. The Smog Free Tower creates smog free air zones in the largest and most polluted cities around the world. The Smog Free tower allows people to breathe and experience what clean air in a city really means.
The aim of this project is to make smog more tangible to people and to reduce waste. So what do they do with the smog they accumulate? By compressing the filtered smog particles, the designers can create jewelry. Each Smog Free Cube literally contains the smog out of 1000 cubic meters of air!
