We all know that workplace stress is a normal occurrence, but research consistently finds adding plants to the workplace decreases stress and increases productivity. As well as looking pretty, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of calm and peace plants bring to the table.

ARCADIA is an innovative packaging kit that contains everything you need to grow your own terrarium. ARCADIA brings the meaning of wonderland and happiness. Therefore, calming and relaxing are the moods that we want our target audience - young adults/working adults to experience. You can now grow your own terrarium easily in workplace.

The main idea of this packaging is “Feel at Home” therefore the shape of this packaging look like a house. Other than that, the color scheme and the typography accentuates the soft and comfortable feelings.

ARCADIA is formed by 3 parts - a triangle roof top and 2 separate cube box. Open up the roof, you will find two compost soil within the origami flowers. Each box contains one terrarium glass container and two bags of seeds. It’s your choice to use the box as a base of the glass pot or separate your terrarium glasses and ARCADIA house-shaped deco.
