Abstract:
With the increasing speed of today's world, we are expected to give a higher level of
efficiency. More often than not, being part of this race, our mental health takes a toll.
Employees often become victim to stress, anxiety, loss of autonomy and
unhappiness, which eventually compromises their productivity. The time we give
ourselves to process and recover is reducing by the day. Mental health is treated
more like a luxury than a necessity. Office environments do not help the situation
with the lack of attention paid to the textures and their effects on the subconscious
mind. The pursuit panel is a modular ceiling fixture with two types of panels. The first
and primary being the texture panel which mimics the surface of water, giving the
user a visual stimulus to produce a calm and productive mental state. It also helps
incorporate a livelier and natural texture in the office environment. The second being
the light panel, which provides task lighting for the workstation below. The modular
design of the product allows it to be installed according to the layout of the office
space. It also allows for the creation of many iterations of the end form, giving the
user a sense of autonomy.
