Instead of being a unit powered by electricity and packed with filters, the 'AIRY' works by simply utilizing [natural potted plants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/izestee). Designed by Amilios Grohmann, the 'AIRY' works by enabling air to pass past the roots of the plant from the bottom; with the roots absorbing the majority of toxins, this makes it a powerful air-cleaning system. The 'AIRY' planter can clean up to 40 cubic meters of air per day, which makes it suitable for large spaces, homes and literally any space that requires a touch of green and some cleaning. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 50% | 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) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Natural Air-purifying Systems:** There is an opportunity to design air-cleaning systems that use natural elements and eliminate the need for electricity or filters. - **Innovative Plant-based Solutions:** There is an opportunity to create new plant-based solutions for a variety of consumer needs. - **Eco-friendly Home Products:** There is an opportunity to develop eco-friendly products for the home that have a positive impact on the environment. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Accessories:** There is an opportunity for companies to create innovative home accessories that serve a dual purpose by providing both decoration and functionality. - **Gardening Supplies:** There is an opportunity for suppliers of gardening products to explore new markets by emphasizing the environmental benefits of their products. - **Sustainable Design:** There is an opportunity for designers to incorporate sustainable and eco-friendly features into their products, thus appealing to consumers who prioritize environmentally responsible choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Algae-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/algenair-aerium.md) - [Plant-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-px-air-purifier.md) - [Plant-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-air-purifier.md) - [Plant-Shaped Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artsy-air-purifiers.md) - [Minimalist Purifying Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow.md) - [Moss-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moss-air.md) - [Indoor Air Quality-Improving Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elpo-indoor-vertical-garden.md) - [Naturalistic AI-Powered Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/briiv-pro.md) - [Air-Purifying Houseplants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neoplants.md)
