In today’s world, where remote and home-based work have become the norm, the boundary between professional and personal life is increasingly blurred. As a result, over 57% of people work beyond regular hours, while 64% report a decline in mental well-being. Without the commute, coffee breaks, or the simple act of leaving the office, our daily transitions—between work and rest, tension and calm—are slowly disappearing.

Journey was created as a response to this loss of rhythm. It is a sandalwood aroma diffuser designed to serve as a symbolic moment of transition—marking the beginning or end of work, or simply inviting you back to yourself.

Journey activates the senses to restore presence. The grounding scent of sandalwood, combined with gentle atmospheric lighting, forms a modern ritual within the home. It does not merely decorate a room; it reshapes it. Through scent, light, and mindful activation, Journey reintroduces emotional boundaries where physical boundaries no longer exist.

Key values of Journey:
· Sensory Transition – Sandalwood and warm light guide the mind between states.
· Ritual in Everyday Life – A simple, repeatable gesture that defines time and intention.
· For Home-Based Living – Restores psychological boundaries without changing architecture.
· Space Reimagined – Journey does not just enter a space—it transforms it into a place of awareness.

In a time when work and life overlap more than ever, Journey encourages people to reclaim a sense of pause and personal rhythm. It invites us to experience how design can elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Are you ready to create your own moment of transition?
