The Air Box – which is quite spherical and the green one looks like an apple – is an air purifier. Beyond that it scans the air for volatile organic compounds and PM2.5 air particulates. It has an IR blaster to control air conditioners in conjunction with your smartphone.
Then there’s the Air Cube – you guessed it, it’s shaped like a cylinder – has four parts that can be assembled and reassembled like Lego bricks. One module is a humidifier, another removes humidity, then there’s an air filter and an aroma therapy module.
