Neat design, I doubt they do anything for air quality, what do you think?

Not a single word how they may filter anything. Looks like a usual PLA print and a total scam. They look nice, but that's it in my opinion.

Yeah, even if they have hidden air filters in there, I'm calling bullshit on sequestering CO2. That is not easy and if they figured out how to do it at room temperature and with 3d printing them they'd change the world.

Literally speaking anytime that you print something in PLA and don't burn it it's sequestering carbon, but that's not exactly impressive.

Looks like an ad for pure.tech to me. They don't say anything about how their product works either.

But it has puretech™️ technology.

Oh ok, I didn't notice this. Then it will surely work haha

A green plastic watering can, for a fake Chinese rubber plant, In a fake plastic earth.

That she bought from a rubber man, In a town full of rubber plants, to get rid of itself.

Yankodesign is, and has always been, graphic designers wanking off. Nothing on that page is ever an actual viable product.

You know someone is going to get bored and end up copying all those designs and post them online.

When they do, please post up a link because they look cool as hell and I would consider printing a couple of them.

The rest of the "purifying the air" claims are clearly complete BS, but visually they still look nice.

I'm with you there! I'd like to print a few for the looks.

They will gather dust from air and let it settle in the folds. So when you bump into them or try cleaning them, they release all stored dust back into air.

I love the idea of an air purifier inside a plastic "plant-like" housing, but without any active air purification these aren't gonna do shit but collect dust.
