SOWL

Our everyday life is becoming increasingly fast paced and time has become a valuable commodity in our society. Due to digitization, you can be reached anytime and anywhere. This makes it even harder to actually recover from the day during or after work. wThe stress level is constantly increased and the pressure of today’s performance society supports this unhealthy lifestyle. You take fewer or even no breaks and work until you are unfocused and frustrated. Thus, you overexert your own body day after day without regard to your own well-being.

The draft SOWL aims to counteract this outcome. It is a tea service in the shape of an owl. But why an owl? Patience and wisdom are often associated with the owl. In other words, exactly the qualities that we lack in our hectic everyday lives.

SOWL should not only be a simple commodity or decoration, but also show how important it is to take regular breaks. SOWL can be seen as a personal advisor that accompanies you throughout the day at work. The set can be placed on the table and while you work every now and then to draw attention to breaks.

Even just a small break of five minutes, during which you drink a cup of tea, can relax you and increase your health and productivity throughout the day.
