SynaeFlow: An interactive luxury ornament for multi-sensory therapy

  • Alejandra Carreno Garzon

In a competitive society, societal pressures to always be ‘perfect’ can have a detrimental effect on affluent women, leading to depression and anxiety that is often concealed. SynaeFlow uses multi-sensory therapy to treat by bringing wonder & exploration when interacting with the high-end product. SynaeFlow=Synaesthesia+Flow. The two-piece multi-sensory interactive ornament designed for therapeutic purposes treats by creating a positive sensorial memory and bringing out the child within. Flower-like and emanating movement even when static, Flow is created. Symbolising an orchid, it represents love, luxury, beauty, and strength, thus materials are smart, durable, and detailed. Using a wireless remote, eight functionalities are activated: moving petals and activating LEDs to produce marvelous middle eastern designs. Senses are further stimulated with the smell of the backflow incense burning, smoke cascading through the middle and out of the base, and the control vibrating in calming frequencies. It is an elegant DANCE of shadows, light PLAY & CREATION, stimulating senses, and bringing nature indoors. Functionalities from bottom right to bottom left in an anti-clockwise manner: - Control vibrations (low to high frequencies) - Petals rotation - Petals flapping - Open/Close petals - Stamens light intensity - UV light intensity - Leaves light intensity - Stamens and leaves light intensity
