Shenzhen Breo Technology's Wowo ipalm is a smart hand massager that simulates the experience of getting a real hand massage. The smart device is able to do this by activating acupressure points on the body simply using the release of concentrated air pressure.
Since the system is so small, it is fully portable and can be used to relieve tension at any time it is needed.
Box Brand Design was put to the task of creating packaging for the intelligent hand massager and used a series of lines and dots to suggest how one's pulse can become steadied with a soothing massage. One of the most charming details of the packaging is the use of the red strap, which mimics the red hand on the side of the carrying bag.
