On the occasion of the 10th International Biennial of Design in Saint Etienne, on the theme of “the mutation of work” I developed Pixels.

My intention was to rely on well-being at the office. I focused my research on the stress caused by work, which can result on anxiety and a lack of efficiency and rigor. Following my research, I found that a stressed person can quickly depersonalize and lose contact with herself.

I was interested in natural treatment methods against stress, such as Yoga, chromotherapies, meditation, etc. For the final product, i was inspired by the idea of pixels that are daily present with the new technologies. I diverted these squares, that stupefy and stress us in a daily basis and propose a more playful and creative version.

In the evolution of workspaces, open spaces have been introduced as shared spaces without barriers, ironically these spaces have also become a factor of stress because of the lack of privacy. I then propose PIXELS an interactive wall that will serve to divide open spaces.
