This project aims to achieve well-being of workers at home office, by designing interaction with nature through a unique indoor herbal garden integrated with a desk.
Although each moment of working is an extreme example of what makes us different from other animals, human beings and plants have common basic needs for their wellbeing; sunlight and water.
This herbal desk brings a new restoring experience at your tea break, with cultivating and making tea from own desk garden. Working style gets flexible in a decade, and the word of home office describes one simple choice to work at home. This project is the first step of bringing back our sense of nature into the most modernized working environment.
