3D-Printed Meditation-Supporting Tablets

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sugar Lab & Hasu Develop a 3D-Printed Meditation Tablet

— January 18, 2023 — Art & Design
Sugar Lab, known as "the world's first digital bakery," and modern wellness brand Hasu partner to bring consumers an innovative 3D-printed meditation tablet. Geared to provide support during meditation cycles, "the tablet acts as an anchor for users to focus their attention." Benefits are ongoing, even after the bite-sized meditation tablet has dissolved in one's mouth.

The design of this offering is quite striking. Sugar Lab utilized its "patented Currant 3D printer which prints dehydrated food powder into any design you can imagine." The Hasu meditation tablets are printed in the shape of a lotus flower. This is in direct tie to the wellness brand's name as "hasu" means lotus in Japanese. The product is offered in three flavors—ginger, mint, and vanilla, and each boasts a playful color palette.
