HAZE HELP
With all this haze in KL it really bothers me to leave my balcony door open. The air quality is horrific and everyone i know has fallen sick. KLCC was hidden for days amongst the thick grey smoke.
Now this is perfect! What a superb idea for an air purifier. The Bel-air living mobile greenhouse sucks in all the dirty air whilst the plant capsule filters the polluted air. Then, releasing clean air into your living room.

INDEX THIS
Walls that process air, water and light, streetlights that light up to the moon, music that heals HIV/AIDS.
So many amazings at the Index Awards.

For the lil' one
How cute is this?
Now something like the Parapu chair is a combination of quirkiness, sustainability and practicality. Unveiled at the Milan furniture fair 2009 this lil piece of furniture is made out of DuraPulp, paper pulp and PLA (biodegradable plastic).
Wish i could get me hands on one of these for the lil one :-)
Designed by the Swedish architecture studio Claesson Koivisto Rune.
