Rise of Smart Biophilic Products
COVID 19 has bounded us to spend more time within the four walls of our homes. As more time is spent at home, clean air is essential for physical and mental health. There is an increasing need to bring the freshness of nature inside our homes.
Biophilic design aims to rejuvenate human bonding with nature. Infusing the smartness of electronics with natural elements will be the next living experience. This talk will focus on a project done at frog Design where we used the philosophy of biophilic design to create a sustainable air purification system for Indians.
