Carbon Tide

Carbon Tide is an innovative wearable that transforms climate data into a poetic, embodied experience. Blending sustainability with smart design, this ocean-wave-inspired pendant symbolizes the rising sea levels caused by climate change and invites a deeper connection between the wearer and the Earth's shifting rhythms. 3D-printed using 100% biodegradable seaweed-based bioplastic and equipped with low-power electronics, it represents a seamless integration of material innovation and environmental responsibility.



At its core is a real-time CO₂ sensing system that visualizes air quality through dynamic LED colors—shifting from green in clean air to red in high pollution—making invisible threats instantly perceptible. The pendant gently rises and falls with the wearer's breath, turning environmental monitoring into a contemplative, sensory ritual.



Carbon Tide connects to a companion app that provides detailed analytics on CO₂ levels, temperature, and humidity, empowering users to adjust their behaviors and make informed, sustainable choices. More than a device, it is a call to action: an artistic, technological, and emotional tool that shifts climate awareness from passive observation to active participation. In wearing Carbon Tide, individuals become part of a collective wave—where every breath matters, and every choice shapes our shared future.
