"DEW" - Light art that makes you meditate just by looking at it

"DEW" is "art that can meditate just by looking at it," and creates a meditative state by swaying light and water droplets at a constant rhythm.

The product was created in 2011 by Ryoji Takahashi , a designer for "VITRO," who had a formative experience of gazing at a pond and feeling calm. The product was created as a meditation item using light and water. It was exhibited at the "Milano Salone Sateria" in 2013, and has been selected for the "Salone Sateria Permanent Collection" in 2022.

DEW uses LEDs and water, allowing you to meditate while watching the droplets fall at a constant rhythm. This model is equipped with a touch sensor, so you can adjust the amount of light and the speed at which the droplets fall to your liking, making it easier to meditate.

In recent years, there are probably many people who feel "information stress" through the internet, including social media. This product allows such people to have an experience that makes them feel "clear-headed," "balanced autonomic nerves," and "as if they are in nature." The product has a design that matches Japanese rooms, such as Japanese-style rooms, and can be used as interior decoration.

In addition, if you install it in a telework booth or break room in the office, you can expect to improve your concentration and have a refreshing effect. It is also a perfect item for people who are originally into yoga or pilates as a hobby.

The design of this product is based on the golden ratio , so it can be enjoyed as an object. The base is made of cast aluminum, giving it a texture that allows you to feel the texture of the material, evoking a sense of wabi-sabi. In addition, it comes in a paulownia box reminiscent of tea ceremony utensils, so you can feel the Japanese atmosphere from the moment it arrives.

The development of social media has led to an information overload society, and people's digital stress is increasing. As a result, "Bokatsu," or the practice of spending time daydreaming, such as through meditation, digital detox , yoga, and pilates, is becoming popular, especially in urban areas.

The commercialization of "DEW" is also due to these needs. For those who are interested in the product or want to do some "boiling", there is a rental plan, so why not give it a try?
