Holing up in your geek lair for the winter can feel something like being locked in an air tight space station, so it only makes sense to use astronaut-like methods to clean your air with something like the Andrea Air Purifier.

Developed by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur and Harvard professor David Edwards, the device uses a common houseplant sealed in a special casing to draw in polluted air and, using the plant's natural metabolic activity, push out the cleanest air a homebound code monkey has ever inhaled. You can pick your Andrea Air Purifier for just $198 here.
