Project Innovation/Need
The MAHŌ Happï Pill is an innovation in sensory design, offering a novel approach to emotional well-being through scent and mindfulness. Unlike traditional water carafe and cup, the Happï Pill combines portability, sustainability, and aesthetic design into one compact product.
Its key innovation lies in its accessibility and functionality. The Happï Pill is designed to fit seamlessly into modern lifestyles, allowing users to experience moments of calm and joy anywhere, anytime.

Design Challenge
The design challenge for the MAHŌ Happï Pill lay in balancing form, function, and sustainability while meeting the needs of a discerning market. As a water carafe and cup, it needed to be more than just practical—it had to resonate emotionally, aligning with modern lifestyles and aesthetic sensibilities.
Materials were a key focus. We prioritized sourcing sustainable and durable options that maintained a premium look and feel. Crafting a product that was both eco-conscious and elegant required extensive research and testing to ensure it met our high standards.
Understanding the market’s needs was another challenge. Consumers today seek products that are not only functional but also inspire mindfulness and connection. The Happï Pill needed to transcend its role as a carafe and cup, becoming a symbol of intentional living.
Timing and communication were crucial in bringing the Happï Pill to life. Aligning production timelines, ensuring quality, and effectively communicating its unique value to the market required meticulous coordination.
By overcoming these challenges, the Happï Pill emerged as a truly innovative product that redefines the intersection of design, sustainability, and everyday wellness.
