IKEA FÖNSTÅ
Mental well-being aid
FÖNSTÅ is a home interior wall accessory designed to help those who travel frequently cope with loneliness and improve their mental well-being. IKEA FÖNSTÅ gives you the ability to send handwritten messages or pictures to your loved ones so that they can see these when they arrive home. This creates a sense of belonging and presence and has a positive impact on your mental well-being. It is also a piece of furniture that allows you to hang or store your belongings while writing or reading your messages.
A great concept that looks for a simple way to boost people's mental well-being by building strong emotional connections, smoothly bridging between the physical and digital worlds.
WINNER STATEMENTI am very honored to receive the iF DESIGN TALENT AWARD for my thesis project, FÖNSTÅ. This encourages me to continue exploring the new normal that will define tomorrow's society and make people's lives happier, easier, and more meaningful. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my tutors and classmates at the Umeå Institute of Design for all their support and motivation for this project.
