SMOG FREE PROJECT is a series of urban innovations led by Daan Roosegaarde to show the beauty of clean air. As a tangible souvenir, Roosegaarde creates SMOG FREE RINGS made from the compressed smog particles collected from the SMOG FREE TOWER. By sharing the SMOG FREE RING you donate 1000 m3 of clean air to the city.
The SMOG FREE RING contains smog collected from Beijing and Rotterdam and is handmade at Studio Roosegaarde. SMOG FREE RING is part of the art collection of Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. It is also been used as engagement and wedding ring by couples all over the world. The profit of the SMOG FREE RING sales is used to develop more smog free solutions. At this moment only the special edition is available which includes the SMOG FREE RING and a special packaging with a signed card by Daan Roosegaarde for the price of 2000,- euro excluding taxes and shipping costs.
