Specify a living sculpture.
VÉRA is drawn to stand at the centre of an architectural scheme: a freestanding piece of stone, wood and brass that cleans the air and holds a living ecosystem in light. Here is what you need to place it in your project.
What the atelier provides
Specification sheet
Materials, dimensions, systems and care in one PDF, ready for your project documentation.
PDF →Dimensioned elevation
A schematic elevation with design dimensions, included below and in the specification sheet.
3D model
GLB · FBX · OBJ at true scale (FBX/OBJ in millimetres, GLB in metres), for placement in your model and visualisations.
Download · GLB · FBX · OBJ (5 MB) →Material samples
Stone, wood and metal samples are hand-delivered so finishes can be judged in the room’s own light.
Placement visualisation
On request, the atelier visualises VÉRA in your interior from plans or photographs.
Coordination & installation
Delivery and white-glove installation are coordinated with your site team.
Planning data

Questions from architects
What exactly is VÉRA?
A freestanding sculptural object that cleans the air through an H13-class HEPA and activated-carbon stage, then passes it through a living microalgae culture that takes up CO₂ and releases oxygen by photosynthesis. It is made to order in travertine, walnut and brass.
Does it replace ventilation or an HVAC system?
No. VÉRA is designed to complement mechanical ventilation, not to replace it, and it is not a medical device.
How is it maintained?
The living bio-cartridge lifts out through the walnut collar and is renewed about every six months by the atelier’s Atelier Care service, which also looks after the filter stage.
Can dimensions and finishes be adapted?
Yes. Stone, wood and metal finishes, proportions and engraving can be adapted to the scheme; changes are drawn and confirmed in the project file.
What are the lead times?
Around 10–14 weeks of atelier work once materials are confirmed. Exact timing is set per commission.
Are the technical figures final?
Figures published here are design targets for Atelier No. 001. Final values are measured and documented with each piece.
How is pricing handled?
Pricing, including trade terms, is shared privately with each project file.
