Lumet

We spend 90% of our lives indoors, trapped in hermetically sealed spaces where accumulated CO₂ and VOCs trigger Sick Building Syndrome and silently degrade our cognitive performance. Traditional mechanical purifiers only trap dust, turning into non-recyclable waste while ignoring these toxic, invisible gases. Lumet is a Metabolic Luminaire for Environmental Bio-purification that redefines the air we breathe. Powered by a living microalgae culture (Arthrospira platensis), its elegant borosilicate core utilizes an active airlift system and alkaline medium to chemically wash airborne toxins. Through active photosynthesis, Lumet captures CO₂, releases fresh oxygen, and transforms indoor pollution into a harvestable bio-fertilizer; creating a truly zero-waste, regenerative domestic ecosystem.
