Our Why
In 2019 we set on a journey to improve our quality of life by making the places we were spending the most time healthier.
We discovered that improving the air quality was the most important thing we could do to achieve our goal of a better, healthier home.
Our Mission
To Fight Indoor Air Pollution Naturally, Effectively, and Sustainably.
Based in Barcelona, Botany Labs is the inventor of KORU.
With people spending more time indoors than ever before, we knew we needed to make that space a healthy one.
This means tackling the ever-increasing range of pollutants found in our environment, from mold spores and dust to harmful chemicals and pet dander.
Our spiration with KORU is to help people live healthier, smarter, and greener lives. Fighting an invisible enemy that affects our quality of life every day.

Koru: the Sleek Air Purifier and Plant Pot
We recognized the effectiveness of the natural air-cleaning properties of plants and combined it with cutting-edge technology to create an innovative air purifier.
Our sleek design not only looks great but also works twice as hard to purify the air inside your home.
We are dedicated to improving people's lives by harnessing the power of plants and advanced technology to provide cleaner air while preserving our planet.
The problem of Indoor Air Pollution
In 2020, the World Health Organization declared "Indoor Air Pollution the single biggest threat to human health".
We spend over 90% of our time indoors, where air quality can be 5 times worse than outdoors. So much so that each year over 4.000.000 people die from illnesses attributable to air pollution.
While indoor air pollution can be extremely dangerous, there are a few ways to help keep it under control.
Designed to reduce the impact on the Planet
KORU is not only effective in purifying the air but also environmentally friendly.
With a fully reusable and washable filter, KORU is built using recyclable materials, and it consumes extremely low power.
We strongly believe in products made from reusable and non-polluting materials and we take great care in partnering with like-minded companies who share our values.
