Abstract
EcoAura is a compact, multifunctional aromatherapy study lamp designed to support the emotional and cognitive needs of university students. In environments where stress, fatigue, and limited personal space are common, EcoAura offers a calming, practical solution. It combines soft adjustable lighting, essential oil diffusion, and the soothing presence of artificial moss into one thoughtful design. Unlike standard desk lamps focused purely on function, EcoAura promotes focus and relaxation through a multisensory experience. The artificial moss, though not living, visually and texturally mimics real greenery— offering the emotional benefits of biophilic design. Studies show such simulated nature can reduce stress and enhance mood, especially in indoor settings. Crafted from laser-cut plywood, acrylic panels, LED strips, and an oil-compatible diffuser, each material was chosen for its tactile, visual, and functional qualities. After multiple prototype iterations and user testing, the final design balances aesthetics, usability, and wellness. Feedback confirmed its ability to ease tension and improve mood. EcoAura isn’t just a lamp—it’s a wellness companion that transforms study spaces into restorative environments through the thoughtful integration of design and nature.
