Overview
The flagship Molekule Air (Model MH1) is a high-end cylindrical room air purifier engineered with proprietary Photo Electrochemical Oxidation (PECO) technology. Wrapped in seamless anodized aluminum and accented with a natural leather carry handle, it re-imagined the utilitarian air purifier into a sleek modern design object.
Story
Developed over two decades of university research by Dr. Yogi Goswami to help his son's severe asthma, this device was engineered to break down pollutants at a molecular level rather than just trapping them.
Maker / Origin
Molekule was founded in 2014 by Dr. Yogi Goswami alongside his children, Jaya and Dilip Goswami. Their mission was to translate solar-energy and photocatalytic science into home wellness hardware, capturing worldwide attention and prestigious design awards.
Condition & Value
Cosmetically very clean with minor surface scuffs on the aluminum body and metal strap peg; leather handle remains intact and supple. Operational readiness and filter life would dictate top-of-range pricing.
