Objekte der Begierde. Fidgeting als Schnittstelle zwischen Funktion, Emotion und Ästhetik.

Description

CHARMS aim to overcome the negative stigma of fidget tools by becoming tactile everyday companions through their materiality, form, and haptics. Skill tools made of wood, recycled plastic, silicone, ceramic, and stainless steel offer a multi-layered sensory experience through tactile, thermal, and olfactory stimulation.
Their organic shapes contrast with everyday surroundings, providing a grounding, calming, and concentration-enhancing experience.
Through recycled materials, high-quality craftsmanship, and exceptional forms, desirable everyday objects with emotional value are created.
They combine function, emotion, and aesthetics, promoting emotional self-care and mental health. As everyday companions, they aim to make fidgeting visible and contribute to destigmatising emotional instability, concentration difficulties, or nervousness.
