It is basically a [planter for computer screens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/posha). Filled with [lush green grass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bisley), Green Air adds a breath of fresh air to home and work offices. Designed by Wang Yi Peng, Fan Xu and Zhu RB, Green Air does more than add a little greenery to workspaces. It has a temperature sensor that reads the heat from the computer screen. When it reaches a specific temperature, the LED light at the front changes to a different color to alert the person to take a break. Green Air helps to reduce long work hours and unnecessary fatigue. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 59% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Computer-screen Planters:** The trend of incorporating planters into computer screens to bring nature indoors and promote well-being. - **Smart Workspaces:** The trend of integrating technology to create smarter work environments that enhance productivity and employee well-being. - **Temperature-sensing Devices:** The trend of utilizing temperature sensors in innovative products to monitor and improve user comfort and health. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Office Supplies and Equipment:** The office supplies and equipment industry can explore opportunities in creating computer-screen planters and temperature-sensing devices for workspaces. - **Smart Home Technology:** The smart home technology industry can explore integrating temperature-sensing devices to enhance user comfort and promote well-being. - **Eco-friendly Products:** The eco-friendly products industry can innovate by designing computer-screen planters that bring nature into indoor spaces while incorporating sustainable materials and practices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Climate-Controlled Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-flower-system.md) - [Digital Interaction Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planta-planter.md) - [Aeroponic Desktop Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/izestee.md) - [Plant-Supporting Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/florapur-air-purifier-concept.md) - [Virtual Pet Planter Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pot-concept.md) - [Moss Terrarium Air Humidifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosslab.md) - [Indoor Air Quality-Improving Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elpo-indoor-vertical-garden.md) - [Dementia Support Smart Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-smart-planter.md) - [Plant-Cultivating Home Furnishings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-4.md)
