Briiv Pro Air Purifier

Golden A' Design Award Winner 2024

The formal vocabulary of Ryan Ward's air purifier operates through layered material symbolism that communicates sustainability values through visual transparency and honest material expression. The glass dome functions as a vitrine, a display case traditionally associated with precious objects and museum artifacts, elevating the natural filtration materials to objects worthy of contemplation and care. The preserved moss carries deep archetypal associations with forest environments, primordial landscapes, and the life-giving processes of photosynthesis and air purification that occur in natural ecosystems, creating an immediate symbolic connection between the product and the forests it metaphorically evokes. The visible layering of natural materials, coconut fiber beneath moss, suggests geological strata and temporal depth, communicating that these materials have histories and origins in natural cycles rather than industrial synthesis. The cylindrical form references both traditional vessels and containers, archetypes of holding and preservation, while the black base with its ribbed texture suggests technological competence and the controlled movement of air. The color progression from earth-dark black through warm brown fibers to vital green moss traces a symbolic journey from technological function through organic mediation to living nature. The transparent enclosure creates a terrarium effect, evoking contained ecosystems and the Victorian tradition of bringing nature indoors for observation and appreciation. The tripartite vertical structure, base supporting middle supporting crown, echoes classical column proportions and the symbolic hierarchy of grounding, transition, and aspiration. This design invites interpretation as a meditation on the relationship between human technological intervention and natural processes, suggesting that sustainable innovation can make visible and beautiful the integration of organic and manufactured worlds.

Briiv Pro is a radical new approach to sustainable air purification. Featuring AI-assisted air quality monitoring and mesh network capabilities, Briiv Pro drives forward the possibilities of sustainable materials in the world of air purification, leading the charge as Briiv Pro does away with fossil-fuel derived plastics and ushers in a new era of bioplastic-based consumer electronics that deliver life changing benefits with natural materials. It is these ideals of sustainability to which Briiv Pro adheres, to illuminate a better pathway to a greener future for human beings and the planet.
