What We Did
Psycho-Aesthetics™
Product design is more than just winning awards; it’s about creating emotional connections between the product and the user. Our human-centered approach, Psycho-Aesthetics, helps us understand and quantify these connections. Our design firm uses it to create innovative products, technologies, services, brands, and more. We aim to create solutions that are relevant and impactful, using our approach to grow our clients’ businesses. With Psycho-Aesthetics as our foundation, we work with clients to establish a common language that can be used throughout our relationship. We found the opportunity zone for The Wall Garden to be in the artistic quadrant of P/A map. The Wall Garden was established with meaning, aesthetic, and intended to provoke emotion.
Our team recognized the critical need for individuals living in urban areas, offices, mobile homes, and even RVs to have access to fresh herbs and greens despite limited space. The Wall Garden addresses this problem by combining practicality, minimalistic industrial design, and a user-friendly experience. With its advanced LED grow lights, silent watering system, and efficient air circulation, the Wall Garden creates an optimal environment for a wide variety of herbs, greens, and micro-greens to flourish.
We made the growing process effortless by offering pre-ordered seed squares delivered to the owner’s doorstep, each containing seeds and plant-specific nutrients in biodegradable packaging. Once placed in the Wall Garden, the plants thrive with minimal effort from the user. This innovative solution empowers individuals to take control of their food production, leading to healthier, more sustainable lifestyles while enjoying the beauty of watching their food grow.
Our dedication to research and product development has not gone unnoticed. The Wall Garden design has received prestigious accolades, including a CES Best Innovation Award and recognition as one of the most fundable companies by Pepperdine DeGrazio Business School. Beyond its direct-to-consumer business, Miravel is in negotiations with urban landlords to enhance multi-family offerings and reduce their carbon footprint. The patented seed pods, unique to the Wall Garden, enable infinite upgradability, increasing the value of the investment for users while driving a sustainable and high-growth business model for Miravel through ongoing seed square sales.
This groundbreaking product considers important social, cultural, and environmental factors, empowering users to cultivate culturally diverse vegetables, reducing carbon footprint, and fostering self-sufficiency. The Wall Garden sets an example for others to follow, promoting local consumption, healthier lifestyles, and a connection to nature, all wrapped in a clean, modern design that enhances the aesthetic appeal of any wall. Through our extensive research, strategic planning, product definition, industrial design, engineering, and prototyping processes, we brought this innovative product to life.
