Clean air is a luxury nowadays. Be it indoors or the outdoors, the air quality continues to deteriorate as it has been since the dawn of industrialization. While indoor air cleansing can be done with air purification systems, you have to think and devise tools if you wish it to be no different outside your abodes. Designers Martina Pagura and Pedro Nakazato Andrade worked with Daviid Gauthier, Di Mainstone and Priya Mani from the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design to propose a wearable air purifier concept, dubbed as W/Air, which filters the air and stores CO2 to produce energy for everyday use.

When there is air pollution the necklace produces a sound. Thus, it warns the user to close the front of the necklace for protecting himself. The body-centric wearable device, while offering clean, breathable air to the user, reuses CO2 for energy generation. The project was developed as part of a two-week ‘Performative Design, Wearable Technology and Sustainability’ workshop.
