CALMSHELL

Introducing the Calmshell: a wearable accessory aimed at redefining calmness and relaxation in a busy everyday life, specifically designed for women in menopause. A sensory object with a tactile design and a vibrating function, to help you focus and calm down. 

Through our project, we have explored design, technology, and benefits that Calmshell offers. Let's explore how Calmshell creates meaningful connections, promotes self-care, and provides a profound sense of empowerment to our target audience. Let's embark on the journey into a world of inner peace and well-being with Calmshell.

  • Our focus

    Throughout this journey, we've come to understand the many symptoms that arise during menopause. We focused on stress and the overwhelmed feelings women experience during these hormonal changes of the body - and how to embrace these feelings.

    While many of these symptoms are attributed to hormonal changes, one aspect that particularly grabbed our attention is the profound stress that often accompanies them. In response, we sought to provide a supportive tool to help alleviate this stress.

  • Persona

    We based our study on our interview where we found that menopause hits women in their lives where they typically earn the most money and are busiest; with children living at home and a social life to maintain. Therefore, it's extra stressful and hectic when your body also starts behaving in a way you're not familiar with. Ann has a busy working life, and active and healthy lifestyle, and she wants to be able to continue being the woman she is. but she feel depressed about her body changing and her mind and body are separating.

    Ann is currently 47 years old and experiencing menopause. She is conscious of her body and understands the physical and hormonal changes that come with this phase. Ann actively seeks solutions to promote her well-being and quality of life. Financially stable, she is willing to invest in products that enhance her overall well-being.

  • Designing for meaningfulness

    By combining technology with emotional well-being, Calmshell not only provides relaxation but also allows for deeper connections.At Calm Shell, we design products that aren't just useful, but also meaningful. With Calmshell, we've combined technology with emotional well-being to help you relax and feel connected. Our goal is to empower you to find peace and balance in your daily life, so you can feel happier and more fulfilled.

  • Inspiration

    The inspiration for this product stems from the serene beauty of the ocean. Shaped like a seashell, it evokes the calming essence of the sea, offering a soothing retreat for its users.

    The symbolism of menopause as a natural transition in a woman's life is profound. It's a time of change, growth, and renewal, much like the cycles of nature. Embracing menopause means embracing this natural journey, allowing it to unfold with wildness and vitality, just as nature does. Like the ever-changing seasons and the untamed beauty of the wilderness, menopause invites us to embrace its transformative power and find strength in its wildness.

  • Design

    The design of this product is inspired by the elegance of a seashell. Crafted in silver, its sleek and graceful contours mimic the natural form of a shell, while the tactile surface invites users to engage with it. The combination of aesthetic appeal and functional design makes it a beautiful addition to any space, enhancing both the visual and sensory experience. Incorporating tactile elements into the surface design, users can experience relaxation simply by touching the product. This tactile feature adds an extra dimension to the experience, allowing users to engage both visually and physically with the calming vibrations, further enhancing the overall sense of relaxation and well-being.

  • Technology

    At its heart lies a sophisticated, vibrator, powered by a strong motor boasting five distinct vibrating patterns and five intensities, offering a customizable experience tailored to your needs. A magnetic USB cable for charging is included.

    The vibrator operates at an extremely low frequency, delivering deep, penetrating vibrations that reach beyond the surface of your skin and into your bones.

  • Our product in the future

    In the future, Calmshell will evolve to focus not only to women experiencing menopause but also to a broader audience seeking relaxation and well-being. It will integrate seamlessly with wearable and smart devices, offering personalized relaxation experiences and stress-level insights. With its sleek design and user-friendly interface, CalmShell will be a go-to tool for anyone prioritizing balanced living and mental wellness.
