The main design inspiration is rooted in the traditional Chinese system of feng shui -- this is the practice of orienting people and items in relation to the space. The main purpose of this is to find the best harmony and balance of the space -- this practice dates back to 4000 BC. Chung also notes that today's understanding of feng shui is a 'quick fix' approach without the philosophical origins. The capsule features 3 pieces and it is comprised of a [crystal ball](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vesper-collection), a [wind chime](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bells-whistles), and a [fountain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-diffuser). These are designed as smart home devices that function like a lab apparatus.
