Founded in 2018 by CEO Thomas Faure, LIFE-01 has redefined indoor air purification with Element®, the world’s first ceiling-mounted, cleanroom-grade air purifier that also functions as an elegant, adaptive LED light panel. Element® silently eliminates biological, chemical, micro, and nano-particles—including viruses, bacteria, and VOCs—at a level of precision traditionally reserved for medical and industrial cleanrooms.

“We created Element® to bring the highest standards of air quality into people’s everyday lives—quietly, beautifully, and intelligently,” said Thomas Faure, CEO of LIFE-01. “Winning the World Future Award is a tremendous honor and a meaningful validation of our mission to make clean indoor air a universal right, not a luxury. We sincerely thank the World Future Awards committee and our growing community of partners and customers around the world.”

Combining real-time environmental monitoring with autonomous operation and effortless mobile app integration, Element® requires no user intervention while optimizing both air quality and energy efficiency. Its discreet design, zero-noise operation, and overhead installation make it a game-changer for homes, offices, schools, medical spaces, and more—delivering clean air without disrupting daily life.

LIFE-01’s production facility in France has an annual capacity of 20,000 units, positioning the company for global expansion. With sustainability built into its core, the Element® system contributes to a 30% reduction in ventilation-related energy use and helps buildings save up to 10 tons of CO₂ annually.

As indoor air pollution continues to rise on the global health agenda, LIFE-01’s innovation is not just timely—it’s essential. The company’s unique fusion of intelligent design, scientific rigor, and human-centered functionality sets a new benchmark in the smart home sector and signals a transformative future for how we live, breathe, and build.
