Layer and Panasonic have designed a range of near-future product concepts, including a smart head massaging device and an AI-powered skin analysis that makes personalised, nutritious smoothies in response to the results.
Called Balance of Being, the collection comprises six designs that use technology to enhance everyday rituals, in order to encourage more meaningful engagements with products and promote wellbeing in the home.
The concept range was envisioned by Benjamin Hubert's design agency Layer and Panasonic's design and engineering teams.
Products include a smart cooking appliance, a skin analysis device that doubles up as a smoothie maker, an LED light treatment for hair, a smart head massager, and two skin care devices. The Shot device conducts a skin analysis and creates a bespoke smoothie based on the results
