This project began with the goal of identifying and solving for a problem in the office space. Stress is naturally the number one problem but is caused by many dozens of reasons.
A unique way of reframing the problem was to look at how people were reacting to stress. A common reaction was pen chewing which leads to a whole new set of problems such as injury and germs.
So how do we design a pen that is safe to chew and relieves stress? We found that chewing creates a chemical reaction in your body that actually relieves stress and this was why so many people do it. So the real goal was to make a pen that was safe to chew. The answer was in the material choice. Miswak is a root that is proven to have dental benefits and is safe to chew.
