Designer Julian Melchiorri has created “Exhale“, an absolutely gorgeous, modular, bionic chandelier that contains air cleansing live green algae. The chandelier hangs in the Victoria and Albert Museum as a part of its permanent collection. Exhale was created for the London Design Festival, which is held at the museum where it lives.
