DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Mood Tree

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Desktop Memo Holder

INSPIRATION:
Displaying intense emotion is usually avoided in Japanese communication. This is especially the case in formal situations such as in the workplace or school, which may make this environment very stressful and out of balance. In Japanese traditions, the Bonsai tree symbolizesharmony, peace, order of thoughts, and balance. Mood Tree is simply an elegant way of communicating your feelings and emotions to others in order to restore this balance between your inside thoughts and outside reaction

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Imagine expressing your daily moods with a simple piece of paper on a tree! Mood tree is a unique memo holder with a different memo design (every paper has 2 different colors "Rose at the top representing happiness, and yellow at the bottom representing sadness"). You can use the memos whenever you like and when you dispose of them, you will put them on the face that represents your mood now. Or you can flip an old paper to express your current mood. It can serve from one person up to seven.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
As you can see right away it looks like a Bonsai tree, with some leaves on it, so you find yourself thinking about Japanese culture, a calm and peaceful environment. Take your memo and write down whatever you want, and then peacefully hang your memo on the face that represents your current mood. And that's it! You can now see other people who observe your current upright color changing their behavior to match your mood. It a such an easy and very efficient way to calm yourself down and also to communicate your mood without saying or making any social contact. Inside a small product on your desk.

I am really impressed by this "Desktop Memo Holder". The design is so creative and unique, it's like a mini sculpture for your desk. The combination of the wooden figure and the metal bar gives it an elegant touch, while the abstract look and the bright colors make it eye-catching and vibrant. It looks like a great way to express your emotions while also having a useful desktop accessory. It is definitely a great work of art and stationery supplies design! Congratulations to Sameh Ibrahim Emam for winning the A' Design Award for this wonderful work.

This extraordinary design is a great way to express moods in a subtle and creative way. The idea of using two different colors to represent happiness and sadness is very clever and the 3D printing technology used to create the tree shape is remarkable. The idea of creating a tool to help restore balance between thoughts and reactions is inspiring and the biodegradable material used is a great contribution to the environment. It is a truly outstanding design that deserves recognition.
