This vessel was created for a specific user and her unique belonging. It acts as a desk accessory that boosts concentration and motivation. After in-depth ethnographic user research through interviews, quiet observation and personal artefacts, I understood her behavioural needs, personality and preferences which are reflected in the design. These features add emotional as well as functional value and encourage the user to embrace her unique personality.

I designed a wooden vessel which explores the themes of perseverance and individuality through its unique form which is difficult to knock over and returns to its original form despite external disturbances.
