Inspiration behind the Design:

Inspiration for this design came from the calming effect of nature and the idea of combining stress relief with a cheerful, decorative touch. Observing how flowers brighten up any space and bring joy, I wanted to create a functional desk accessory that not only helps manage stress but also adds positivity to the workspace. The concept was inspired by the simple act of taking a break, reconnecting with nature, and finding moments of peace during a hectic day.
