Luis Luna's 'O' AKA Wilson
Everyday there’s more and more talk of people trying to lower their CO2 emissions, and everyday it seems as though there’s someone offering a new solution enabling them to do so.
Now, it’s industrial/graphic designer, Luis Luna’s turn.
One of Luna’s latest designs is “O’, a computer that attempts to offset some of its own CO2 emissions, while trying to look ‘good’ at the same time. The idea includes a machine that houses a desk plant which will act as a mini emissions eater and energy saver.

We give him an ‘A’ for effort, but the potential problems that go along with an idea like this would most definitely outweigh any benefits. For starters, although this new accessory may look a bit like Wilson, Tom Hank’s loveable island companion, what happens when water meets the computer’s electrical components?
- Bye bye Wilson, and bye bye expensive/ ‘fashionable’ PC.
