Embrace the natural need for movement.
Value Proposition
Furniture that helps therapists who want to help their clients release stress and anxiety by using focusing techniques and fidgeting without distraction. Unlike fidgeting toys that are often lost or distracting.
Research
Research started with how fidgeting helps people focus and destress. This would be applied to therapy offices, targeting older clientele because of the embarrassment that comes with picking up and playing with colorful toys.
First, fidget devices were acquired and created to test with users.
Fidget devices were added to seating and users tested the different seats, devices, and looked at different concept options to test and see what helped the users the most.
Therapists were interview and shown different concepts to see how they would like them in their offices, and what changes they would like to see in the design.
