What if a Bluetooth speaker, a display, a live plant and an air purifier were combined into one device? That's the magic of the Moss Echo, an innovative piece of audio technology that features real, live moss in a replaceable filter, surrounded by an interactive LED display.
Not only does the device look stylish, but its moss improves indoor air quality and significantly reduces carbon dioxide, according to its creators at Moss Lab, who said the unit also minimizes dust in the home by a staggering 90%. %.
How can moss make such a huge difference in air quality? The plant has miniature, leaf-like phyllids that absorb pollutants and emit clean air into the environment. That means the moss turns the device into a powerful purifier, in addition to its high-tech lighting and music capabilities.
The Moss Echo even comes with a stylish spray bottle for watering. When moss is sprayed, the mechanism's LED visual display reacts in real time and, in speaker mode, reacts to the music. Users can also download a dedicated smartphone app, which allows them to customize the interface and display skins such as adorable animated animal graphics.

When it's time to go to bed, the Moss Echo's sleep mode automatically turns off the lights and sound. And in the morning, you can wake up to nature-inspired alarms or a relaxing visual display.
To keep the moss alive, the device's creators recommend spraying it several times a day. However, moss can survive up to six months without water and will remain healthy and vibrant for years, even with irregular watering. Replacement filters are available for an additional cost, should you need them.
The Moss Echo is available in Kick starter for $179 and shipping worldwide will begin in November. Watch the device in action below.
