Slowing down your footsteps can make you taste life better.
Our application is made for people who want to meet others a poetic way. It makes a different way to relax their life and makes the city more lovely and open.
The urban life in Venice, what is the most important element? We can quickly replied, that is the water. Water brought a different kind of life to the Venetian. In our application we also use the water element, it plays the role like the ”postman”, bringing the origami to another person. It suggests the ancient drifting bottle that can take our hopes to the other side of the sea. We want to bring this feeling to the modern life, allowing people to slow the pace, and appreciate everything is happening around them.
You put your message on the origami and put it on the water. The water will carry your hope to another person, and you will get the feeling of waiting and wishing. Life does not only include family, friends, partners but also strangers. Make our life more open and lovely.
