2000 matches chain reaction – match bomb fail. Stress-Pig volunteered that I could experiment by stuffing 2000 match heads into him, some filler material, a fuse and that I could seal him off well. Why? Stress-Pig wanted to demonstrate what can happen if you don’t manage stress well and vent your emotions in positive ways. Bottling things up can eventually or (in this case, due to intense stress for Mr. Pig… understandably), quickly lead to an uncontrollable breakdown and catastrophic release of tension. We are really grateful for Stress-Pigs contribution and hope he’s recovering well (though we doubt it).

Der Design-Student Eden Lew hat Nutshell entwickelt. Eine Haube, die man sich zur Stressreduzierung über Kopf und Oberkörper ziehen kann. Falls mich wer sucht, ich sitze unterm Schreibtisch.

„As a student I’m always looking for the quickest meal to avoid stopping my workflow. I decided that if I’m going to spend five minutes or less eating a lunch, then I might as well use that five minutes to take a mental break.

Thus the Nutshell was created to block out distractions and to focus on eating and thinking.“

The secret to stress relief? Tiny kittens! We invited strangers to step inside our big glass „therapy“ office and surprised them with kitten playtime.
