DESKTOP ORGANIZER, 2018
Oak wood, 3D Print, Polyethylene Acrylic Sheet, White Spray Paint
My desktop organizer is mostly a decorative design that is inspired by styles such as Zara home and Muji. It contains a frame for a picture, an aroma bowl for a relaxing and meditating aroma, and a tissue box as a cleaning tool. It can be used anywhere such as the office or home. It is a self-care kit for people who like to be organized and desire a simple decorative object.
