We live in a society where mental health comes to the forefront due to the increase in cases of stress and anxiety. The AURA project aims to be a support tool to control these frequent cases, helping to modify the individual's behavior in the face of the first symptoms.

How could we use colors for our well-being?

Aura is an ambient lamp based on the use of colors to help people reduce high levels of stress and anxiety by creating a relaxed and calm environment. This product is obtained by combining industrial techniques; such as machining, and biodesign techniques; such as the manufacture of the structure based on eggshells. The main material is made from eggshell and rosin, which was milled. On the other hand, the structure that holds both pieces was printed in wood filament. In addition, it has a handmade Himalayan salt lamp. The idea is to disconnect from everything that stresses and generates anxiety, mainly it is usually the cell phone. For that reason, between both parts, the lamp has a wireless charging base, so that while recharging the cell phone, you can recharge your energy with Aura.
