What it does
Desktop Zoo targets Gen Z/kids/pet lovers/families. This animal-inspired collection includes tissue dispensers, bookends, clip holders, lamps, and piggy banks blending creature features with function, adding joy to modern desktops.
Your inspiration
88% of youth aged 16-30 felt stress in the past year, with 49% prioritizing emotional wellness. Surging demand for comfort drives the "healing economy" (127% social media content growth). Animals evoke "warmth," "relaxation," and "softness"—their rounded forms, plush textures, and playful palettes enhance home vitality. We channel this into the Desktop Zoo collection, blending animal-inspired designs (e.g., "Herd-the-Sheep" tissue box, "Hide-and-Seek" bookend, "Prickle-Free" clip holder, "Deer-Light" lamp, "Fortune-Paw" piggy bank) with function. This vibrant series adds joy to Gen Z/Alpha desktops, offering emotional solace.
How it works
Modular Bionics & Emotional CMF Fusion Magnetic structures (hedgehog backplates) and photic designs (giraffe lampshades) transform animal traits into functional carriers. Rounded forms (chubby giraffe/hemispherical hedgehog) with behavioral storytelling ("Pluck-the-Wool" tissue box) trigger emotional resonance. Material & Color 1、High-contact: Lambswool/felt (tactile/visual softness); 2、Functional: Magnetic metal/frosted plastic (durability); 3、Low-saturation pastels (lavender/sky blue) neutralize sterility via color psychology. Stylized Scenarios 1、Micro-Ecosystem: Material (plush→security) + color (cream+almond) = "tactile therapeutic ecology"; 2、Gamified Interaction: "Deer-Light" neck-bending dimming mimics play, converting usage to rituals. System Value Links biological symbols → CMF emotions → functional narratives for Gen Z desktop ecosystems balancing utility & emotional solace.
Design process
STEP 1: Demand Insight Rising Emotional Economy: 88% of youth (16-30) face stress; 49% invest in emotional management; "healing" content surged 127% on social media. STEP 2: Concept Transformation 1. Animal Symbolism: Morphology: Rounded inflated forms (e.g., chubby giraffe/hedgehog) reduce压迫感; minimalist animal silhouettes. CMF Touchpoints: Lambswool/linen-blend (tactile安抚); pastel hues (e.g., lavender/sky blue) activate soothing. 2. Behavior-Driven Narrative: "Pluck-the-Wool" tissue box mimics fluffy touch; STEP 3: Technical Implementation 1. Modular Bionic Systems: Magnetic System: Hedgehog with embedded magnets + anti-roll base. Photic Interaction: Giraffe lamp with linen-blend shade (soft light + bendable neck). Universal Morphology: "Rounded core + functional ports" for bookshelf/lamp/piggy bank. 2. CMF Emotional Engineering: Tactile Layer: Lambswool/felt on high-contact zones. Functional Layer: Magnetic metal/frosted plastic for durability. Visual Therapy: Speckled spray ; anodized finishes enhance. STEP 4: Product Validation Desktop Micro-Ecosystem via three-layer penetration: 1. Utility: Modularity meets Gen Z’s core needs (storage/lighting). 2. Healing Perception: Tactile: Plush surfaces lower cortisol. Visual: Pastels trigger dopamine.
How it is different
Bionic Design & Emotional CMF Integration 1. Holistic Integration: Functional: Magnetic modular structures (hedgehog backplates) and photic interactions (giraffe lamp) transform animal behaviors into utility (storage/flexible lighting), meeting Gen Z's core needs. Emotional: Lambswool/felt textures + pastel hues (lavender/sky blue) + behavioral storytelling create stress-relief therapy. 2. Technical Innovation: Structural: Shell-inspired layered base (pressure resistance). Functional: "Deer-Light" neck-bending dimming mimics animal play. Material: Anodized speckle coating simulates animal patterns for durability. 3. User Value: "Interactive Healing Theater": Physiological: Plush touch reduces cortisol; colors trigger dopamine. Behavioral: Gamified interactions build emotional memory. Contextual: Material + colors create a warm desktop ecosystem. Links stress data → healing economy → bionic tech, balancing utility and emotional solace for Gen Z.
Future plans
The product's future roadmap centers on "Technology-Enabled Emotional Healing" as its core philosophy, driven by three strategic pillars: intelligentization, contextualization, and personalization. Our goal is to evolve from functional standalone products to becoming a leader in comprehensive emotional wellness ecosystems. In the short term, we will focus on deepening interactive experiences and expanding product forms. For long-term development, we will establish a global emotional data network. Ultimately, we aim to complete the full-cycle innovation chain: "Biological Inspiration → CMF Emotional Design → Digital Therapy Solutions."
