This handheld nebulizer features a minimalist face mask suitable for children and public use. Our design transforms the negative imagery of traditional face masks into a new and approachable iconography while the compact form factor makes it portable and pleasant to use.

The pocket sized nebulizer is your wellbeing ally for every day. The minimalist and elegant design clearly distinguishes the device from other products on the market. The modular design of the nebulizer makes it easy to switch out the mouthpiece to a face mask. Both are designed with a focus on comfort and functionality while at the same time breaking with the cold and clinical appearance of medical products.

The design of the modular face masks, one for inhalation through the mouth and another for both nose and mouth, challenges the conventional, often stigmatized appearance of face masks associated with sickness and hospitals. Simple and intuitive controls make for an ergonomic user experience. A window provides clear visibility of the level of medicinal liquid while LED indicators show the battery charge.

After conducting in-depth research on light therapy and the effects of biodynamic lighting, we designed this portable lamp to overcome the aesthetic shortcomings of products currently available on the market. The iconic shape with its warm finish allows it to integrate seamlessly into any interior.

Suitable for self-treatment of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), the light not only energizes users with its daylight mode but also creates relaxation with its night mode. Our design approach aimed to blend science and aesthetics to introduce a new category of wellbeing products, enhancing both physical and emotional health through light.

To ensure optimal integration into daily routines, we made the light portable, enabling light therapy virtually anywhere at home, blending flexibility with ease of use. The intuitive controls, including a slider for dimming and a tilt function, ensure the light therapy's effectiveness.

Our strategic design approach led to a design that effectively delivers light therapy while also functioning as an ambient light. This way it seamlessly integrates into the modern living environment, rather than being stowed away when not in use.

A meditation speaker designed with three dedicated modes: ASMR playback for relaxation, an active music-making mode to encourage creativity, as well as a seamless connection to meditation apps for enhanced mindfulness practices, removing the need for a distracting smartphone.

The speaker grille features an organic but precise hole pattern as seen in nature, for example in the arrangement of sunflower seeds in the flower bud. The shape of the speaker itself is inspired by hang drums and fits comfortably in the palm of a hand.

The speaker's interface offers an intuitive user experience through a rotating top mechanism, enabling easy mode selection in a novel and engaging way. The real wood stand adds aesthetic value and elevates the speaker, creating a unique product that supports wellbeing, encourages creativity, and integrates seamlessly into the user's daily life and decor.

To address the sense of touch we designed a handheld vibration massage device with an adjustable strap and interchangeable pads. Natural materials deliver soothing vibrations, easing tension and revitalizing your muscles, to seamlessly become a part of your daily self-care routine.

Our approach was to oppose the performance driven aesthetic of massage guns to pivot towards a muscle relieving and calming self-care experience. The form factor and shape of the massage device is inspired by pebbles and was tested with various mockups and ergonomic models to confirm ergonomics features.

The adjustable textile strap and interchangeable pads, made from natural cork ensure prolonged comfort during self-massage and allows users to feel more grounded by connecting them directly to a natural material. The decision to use cork also supports the strategy for the extended use of sustainable materials throughout the product family.

We designed the product range to be friendly companions that foster a relationship with their users beyond their apparent function. This way we respond to users' needs to actively take actions for a more sustainable life. The QR Code accompanied by an introduction text gives the product personality and guides users to information material as needed.

A simple web app serves as a repairability guide, offering sustainable repairs guides and product information for every device, promoting a greener tech world. Joining powers with existing communities and right to repair movements we imagine every product to be easily disassembled with visible screws allowing an effective repair, while offering spare parts from official sellers, and repair sites like iFixit.

The products are designed to be disassembled using screws as fasteners wherever possible. By avoiding glued parts and giving users full ownership of their products and respecting their right to repair, we strive for an optimistic vision for future product development that reflects our idea of wellbeing in a broader and connected sense.
