Dreamnest
Ran Tao
Dreamnest is a speculative, multisensory experience that invites users to recreate emotional memories through scent and
sound. Inspired by dreamcore aesthetics, the project explores how fragmented visuals, soft nostalgia, and surreal spaces
can soothe anxiety in an overstimulated world. Users build their own “dream memory” through symbolic choices—creating a
personalized scent and ambient audio, embedded in a physical dream album. Dreamnest blurs the line between reality and
imagination, offering not escape, but reconnection. It asks: what if memory could be designed, collected, and held
gently in your hands?
Logo/icon design
Logo and brand name come from “Dream catcher”, rooted in Native American tribes tradition, symbolizes the act of capturing dreams we wish to hold onto—preserving moments of comfort, and imagination.
Label/sticker Design
There are four options for our customers to make in order to customize your own album: Background of the selected memory, a detailed object from the scene, the emotions of the moment, and a safe word of your choice.
