Keyi Chen — who is a graduate from [Central Saint Martins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-to-grow-a-refrigerator) in London, UK, focused on elevating the work environment with a playful and minimalist desk accessory set. As the times call for rapid innovation and long hours, Crunch Culture in the workplace becomes a very real issue. The emerging designer seeks to contradict this through the revamp of "five commonplace office items that can also be used as tools to relieve the [stress of a long working day](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lazy-concept)."

The desk accessory set contains compact objects that possess an interesting element that is tied to meditation and stress-relief. For example, the Keyi Chen's collection consists of a fan that can only be activated if the user breathes deeply into it. Other items include a mouse, a USB stick, a pen, and even a calculator.
