When it comes to our homes, we often focus on aesthetics — choosing the perfect colour palette, selecting furniture, and curating decor. But what about the air we breathe? Indoor air quality is just as important as any design choice, especially since we spend around 90% of our time indoors.
A couple of years ago, I reviewed the Briiv air filter, a stylish air filter that uses the power of plants to remove pollutants from your home. The clever team at Briiv have continued to iterate and refine the product, recently launching Briiv 2 Pro Air to the market — a revolutionary air purifier that not only enhances the quality of the air you breathe but does so in an eco-friendly and stylish way.

Why indoor air quality is important
It’s self-explanatory that improving your home’s indoor air quality naturally leads to a healthier living environment. In Australia, we’re fortunate to have good air quality but even so, pollutants such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds) from paints and cleaning products, allergens like dust and pet dander, and even fumes from cooking and mould spores can be prevalent. All of these can compromise the health of your home and potentially lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and fatigue.
Allergy sufferers in particular may find that their symptoms worsen indoors due to airborne irritants. Traditional air purifiers can help, but they often rely on plastic-based filters that contribute to landfill waste.
What makes Briiv Pro 2 different
Briiv 2 Pro Air takes a nature-inspired approach to air purification. Instead of synthetic materials, it uses biodegradable and sustainable filters, including:
- moss and coconut husks to trap large particles like dust and pet dander
- activated carbon filters to absorb harmful gases and odours, and
- fine particulate filter to capture microscopic pollutants, making the air cleaner and healthier.
Not only do these materials look stylish, most importantly they work. The Briiv comes with an app so you can monitor your home’s air quality and get real-time alerts. You can also link several Briivs together to create a smart air monitoring system to improve your entire home’s air quality like no other air purifier.
Designed for modern, healthy living
Beyond its impressive filtration system, Briiv Pro 2.0 seamlessly integrates into a contemporary home with smart features, including:
- AI-powered sensors that adjust purification levels based on real-time air quality
- fragrance mode to create a fresh and inviting atmosphere, and
- app control and IoT integration for effortless operation.
This model is quieter than the original while also being more powerful. It takes just over 20 minutes to purify the air in a large room.
I wish we would have had this device during the bushfires a few years ago (when Canberra’s air quality was the worst of anywhere in the world!). Despite completely shutting the house, it was still visibly smokey inside and nothing we tried made a difference. Hopefully I never have to put it to the test under similar conditions but it’s reassuring to know we have something to help if it does.
With so many people looking for ways to reduce allergens or improve the health of their home, I hope this look at the Briiv 2 Air Pro has been useful. I’m a proud ambassador of the product but all opinions expressed in this article are my own.
