“Living” Chandelier That Naturally Purifies the Air Contains Real Algae

Design engineer and biotechnologist Julian Melchiorri is the brain behind the “living” chandelier, something that not only adorns your home but also purifies the air that you breathe in, an ingenious design that can be the perfect addition to your home decor.

He calls it Exhale, a lovely chandelier that is composed of seventy glass leaves filled with algae that purify air. This has been on display at the V&A Museum during the London Design Festival, another green design that has been created by the emerging design-engineer Julian Melchiorri, who has also created the world’s first synthetic biological leaf.

Melchiorri’s work is based on the simple principle of photosynthesis, but the well-thought of use of the man-made household item, making it functional for the environment, makes this a brilliant innovation. He has been awarded the Emerging Talent Award during London Design Week, in an effort to applaud his great contribution. While the Exhale chandelier is still a prototype, the young designer wishes to bring the technology to larger buildings in the future, combating against harmful emissions.
