Innovative air purifier combining nature, design & tech to automate air filtration and plant care.Check on Indiegogo
Koru is a beautifully designed hybrid air purifier and smart planter. It uses A.I. and cutting-edge tech to automatically grow thriving plants and efficiently cleanse the air you breathe.
Say goodbye to ugly, unsustainable air purifiers! KORU will be the most stunning design object you will ever have in your home or office.
Inspired by NASA technology, KORU combines the natural air filtration properties of plants’ roots with a high-end photocatalyst (PCO) filter. The PCO filter is activated by UV-A and UV-C light which enables it to destroy bacteria and viruses, and remove VOCs from your breathing air.
Koru’s efficacy has been proven through numerous rigorous tests, covering several gases and pollutants from airborne particles.
Tested in a 100ft2 room, Koru was proven to reduce the number of pollutants down to a World Health Organization (WHO) safe level in as little as 1.5 hours. The efficiency of the filtration system is rated at an industry-standard CADR rating of 70 CFM.
HEPA filters, previously considered the “golden standard” for air purification, are now giving way to superior, more sustainable technology.
With thousands of tons of HEPA filters left to slowly decompose in landfills every year, KORU promises to do better.
KORU’s washable filter never needs to be replaced.
On top of not requiring replacements or contributing to waste, KORU uses just 16 watts of energy (the equivalent of 1 normal LED lamp), making it truly cost-effective.
Your plants have never been this low-maintenance! KORU knows exactly what to do to get your plant thriving because it has several sensors monitoring the tiniest details.
You can have any plant, from succulents to tropical plants! All you have to do is choose the type of plant you’re growing in the App and KORU does the rest.
The KORU App lets you monitor the health of your plant and your air quality 24/7. You can also connect KORU to your smart home through Google Assistant or Alexa.
Koru automatically runs the purifier when necessary, but you can also select from 4 modes in the app: Off, Silent, Auto, and Boost.
You get to brighten up your living space with a stunning plant that won’t die and you’ll breathe clean air without an ugly appliance hanging out in your living room. It’s a win–win!
In Maori, KORU stands for ‘new life’, ‘growth’, ‘peace’, ‘tranquillity’, which resembles what our system does for plants: it provides them with the perfect environment to grow and thrive.
