  • Chloe Meineck

Trove is a self curated and narrated treasure chest for children’s most precious things. Trove enables children to record a story to a precious object and then trigger the story when the object is played with. With support from leading adoption agency, Coram, this product aims to help children, especially those that have been adopted or are in care, understand who they are and to support them through times of change and uncertainty. Trove was designed and created by Chloe Meineck, who runs Studio Meineck, a social design company that specialises in designing with people rather than for people. Trove is an ongoing collaboration with Dr. Debbie Watson from the University of Bristol who specialises in research with adopted children and children in care.
