Add greenery to your work environment to relieve stress and anxiety. We have also developed a series of accessories to make the sticker easy to integrate into our life.

Many people refuse to grow plants because it takes time, knowledge, perseverance and love. Paper forest sticker is the perfect solution. It only takes 5 minutes to bring greenery to the user's desk.

- Research
- Design Background and reason Stressful urban life and social networking has always been a source of tension and stress for us. We hope to create works that relieve stress and nourish the soul. Many people refuse to grow plants because it takes time, knowledge, perseverance and love. [Desktop Forest] is the perfect solution. It only takes 5 minutes to bring greenery to the user's desk. You can "plant" anywhere, bring lush greenery to the desk and bring nature to work and life. Social Responsibility [Desktop Forest] is a product produced with the assistance of disabled people in cooperation with sheltered workshops.
- Challenge
- How to "minimal" the design is the main challenge for this project. Less but better is the main aim of the project. simplicity is key and if the idea is good, lesser elements will suffice. Minimalist design today is about reduction, unearthing a message and structuring the content. It makes effective use of blank spaces and creates a high visual impact with only the most essential elements. We subtract unnecessary structure. We subtract any material other than paper. We subtract printing or other post-processing. We only use paper as a single material and the material itself as the structure. We also add a natural look to the paper with the laser engrave process.
- Realization and Technology
- Paper forest sticker is a product that cooperates with paper artists and takes paper art as the core of the design. The traditional art of paper-cutting has been reinterpreted and treated with laser technology to immediately show a fashionable appearance. It is 100% made of paper. We insist on using the most environmentally friendly and sustainable natural resources for production, and create products that make users feel natural. it is based on the original creation focusing on natural environmental protection. From function, material, packaging, production, all take natural environmental protection as the core concept.
- Operation and Interaction
- No water, no sunlight, no fertilization, no soil, but it stays green. It will last forever and can be applied anywhere. It only takes 5 minutes to bring greenery to the user's desk. You can "plant" anywhere, bring lush greenery to the desk and bring nature to work and life.
