The pop-up tent is a movable tent that can be placed indoors such as classrooms and offices to target at busy students and workers.

Unknown seed kit
Unknown seed kit
A kit where users randomly received a plant to grow. It's a surprise where user will not know what the seed is, until they grow it to find out by following an instruction guide.
It is a way to encourage people to grow plants in their home or office and the process of growing a plant is a form of taking breaks. By being unknown, it allows user to observe nature's growth as they will be eager to find out what the plant will turn out to be.
Each packaging label only hint at the silhouette of the plant’s leaf.
