RESET SET 

Especially in our stimulus-flooded world, we can easily lose our sense for the analog.

This is where the RESET SET comes in and helps us to return to analog perception. It represents a mindfulness training and is designed to appeal to all five senses and sharpen them again for small everyday experiences.

A touch of porcelain, as delicate as morning mist, holds a secret. Its smooth skin caresses the touch, cools and invigorates. A gentle tap reveals a sound, clear as spring bells, that enchants the ear. Its scent, barely perceptible, recalls distant gardens and awakens memory. The eyes follow the flowing lines, the subtle shades, which are a feast for the gaze. And whoever dares to touch with their lips feels the cool elegance that tickles the taste. An object that is more than form, a journey for the senses, a poem in porcelain.

The set consists out of 7 elements made out of porcelain and glas. They can easily be stacked one in another. Small rituals make life easier. They help by pointing a more conscious approach to our hectic everyday life. Processes become more routine. They enable to celebrate the moment and encourage you to live in the here and now.

With the RESET SET, you can create your own analog sensory rituals and it should have a permanent place in your everyday life.
