Since Covid-19 prompted everyone to stay at home in an effort to flatten the curve, many of us are now spending more time indoors. From baking to sewing and tik tokking, many are finding new ways to entertain themselves and unleash their talents. Introducing Solaga, a company that makes art pieces that clean the air inside your home, so you can enjoy the indoors, just as much as the outdoors.

Germany-based startup Solaga is looking to clean the air in people’s homes. Founded in 2017, its main product is a small wall decoration named Alwe. Alwe looks like an inconspicuous, minimalist wall decoration but it actually serves a vital function that can improve the health of those in the home. The wall panel is actually made up of microalgae that absorb pollutants in the air to purify them.

Alwe looks just like a piece of art in a frame. The frame, however, has small holes in the sides in order to let the air from your home into the product. The algae in the frame is capable of binding to and fixing the pollutants in the air such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Solaga’s research shows that Alwe is also able to absorb nitrogen oxides. With further research, the company hopes to expand the algae’s filtration ability to VOCs and SO₂.
