We create indoor air purifiers that use living moss and algae to naturally filter pollutants, absorb CO₂, and release oxygen. These bio-based systems combine sustainable design with the air-purifying power of nature, offering a low-maintenance, energy-efficient alternative to traditional devices. Ideal for homes, offices, and schools, our products improve air quality while adding a calming green aesthetic to indoor environments. By integrating nature into daily spaces, we promote healthier living and greater environmental awareness.
RMIT’s strong emphasis on innovation and community impact gave me both the confidence and the platform to turn a nature-inspired idea into a tangible solution for clean indoor air.
I was driven by the growing air pollution crisis in urban areas and the lack of accessible, nature-based solutions for clean indoor air. Conventional air purifiers often rely on electricity and produce waste from filters, which can contradict their environmental purpose. I wanted to design a solution that not only purifies air but also reconnects people with nature. Moss and algae are natural, self-sustaining organisms that absorb CO₂, trap fine dust, and generate oxygen, making them ideal for eco-friendly air purification.
My goal is to make clean air more sustainable and aesthetically integrated into everyday indoor environments. Our moss and algae purifiers have gained attention from schools, cafés, and co-working spaces looking for green design and health-focused solutions. We’ve installed prototypes in small indoor venues, where users have reported noticeable improvements in air freshness and humidity levels.
Beyond direct impact, our work has sparked conversations around bio-design and environmental innovation in Vietnam, particularly among students and young professionals. The project has also opened collaborative opportunities with architects and environmental NGOs.

One major challenge was maintaining the health and effectiveness of living organisms in unpredictable indoor conditions. We had to experiment with different species of moss and algae, adjust lighting systems, and develop low-maintenance designs to ensure user-friendliness.
One of the proudest moments was unveiling our first fully functional moss and algae air purifier prototype at a public environmental exhibition. Seeing visitors—especially children—interact with the product, ask questions, and express genuine excitement about a living air purifier was incredibly rewarding. It marked the transition from concept to reality and showed that our work could inspire curiosity and environmental awareness.
