# Task-Oriented Trees The Artificial Air Tree Cleans Up the Skies by Purifying Air By Andrew Robichaud | Published 2009-08-21 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-tree2 References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/08/21/this-tree-is-artificial-green/) & [coroflot](http://www.coroflot.com/public/image_file.asp?portfolio_id=2620553) The Air-Tree is a single task artificial tree that focuses solely on the [purification of our breathing air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-purifier-concept) (I’m not sure what other tasks a tree has). The Air-Tree is a creatively designed eco-machine that sucks in the bad air through a fan at the base of the structure and filters it up to the top to release cleaner, fresher air into the atmosphere. The Air-Tree, like all other trees do, provides an area to sit for the tired pedestrian and, unlike all other trees, is equipped with LED to create an ambient mood around the beautiful edifice. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Air Purification:** Developing advanced technology and innovative designs for air purification systems present disruptive innovation opportunities. - **Eco-machines:** Exploring the potential of eco-machines to contribute to environmental sustainability and improve air quality can lead to disruptive innovations. - **Ambient Lighting:** Leveraging LED technology and creative design concepts for ambient lighting can create disruptive innovation opportunities in various industries. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Environmental Technology:** The environmental technology industry can benefit from developing and implementing advanced air purification systems and eco-machines to address air pollution and improve overall air quality. - **Architecture and Urban Design:** The architecture and urban design industry can explore incorporating eco-machines like the Air-Tree into their projects to promote eco-friendly environments and enhance air quality in urban areas. - **Lighting Design:** The lighting design industry can innovate by utilizing LED technology and creative designs to create ambient lighting solutions that enhance the aesthetic appeal of spaces and contribute to a soothing ambiance. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Air Purifying Architectural Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verto-air-purification.md) - [Plant-Supporting Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florapur-air-purifier-concept.md) - [Plant-Shaped Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-air-purifiers.md) - [Moss-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-air.md) - [Plant-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-air-purifier.md) - [Tree-Inspired Solar Panel Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solarbotanic-energy-tree.md) - [Algae-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/algenair-aerium.md) - [Air Purifying Multifunctional Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-purifier-table.md) - [Naturalistic AI-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briiv-pro.md)
