Core77 reader and industrial designer Pascal Grangier sends in this conceptual product whose design finds inspiration in the principals of mindfulness. Grangier writes: "The Headspace Companion is a unique design concept for a meditation device that aims to guide users into a meditative state in a visually appealing manner."

They continue, "Resembling a toy-like device, it features a digital face themed with elements like clouds, the sun inspired by Headspace design. The faces mirror the user's mental state, influenced by mood or time elapsed since the last meditation.

As meditation begins, the character's face and mood lighten up, reflecting the desired post-meditation mental state. The device includes a wooden wheel timer for setting meditation duration, providing a distinctive and engaging meditation experience.

Design by Pascal Grangier

Introducing a mindful companion designed to cultivate meditation habits and enhance emotional awareness in the present moment. The device is crafted with the intention of preserving positive routines, dynamically transforming its face based on the frequency of meditation sessions. The goal is to stay away from the metaphorical gray clouds that can cloud the mind.

Embracing simplicity, the design takes on a playful, toy-like appearance to create a friendly and approachable aesthetic. Interaction with the device is intuitive, facilitated by the use of wooden rings to set meditation timers or select specific states of being.

This project stands out by intentionally excluding the use of smartphones, aiming to minimize distractions and foster a more immersive experience. By providing a tangible, dedicated tool, the goal is to encourage users to stay connected with their meditation practice, promoting a sense of calm and emotional well-being. "
