THE RITUAL OF LOCAL HANDCRAFT
by Rituals
︎︎︎ALICE WEBER / WEALTH
More and more, faster and faster
In 2031, we buy more than ever before
We can’t stop consuming because we feel lonely and we try to combat this loneliness
We think that buying will give us a feeling of being complete
But what we really need
Is the re-connection with nature
Only nature’s rawness and infinity can stop our endless search for inner peace
Because nature makes us think clearly
And makes us creative

The Ritual of local Handcraft
In a world that is driven by consumption, spending time in nature is becoming a rare luxury. A luxury that is connected to freedom, rawness and positive energy. Nature is the opposite of mass consumption; it is a very personal sphere on its own.
ZHAOGU-The Ritual of local Handcraft enables you to create your own natural and clean skin care. It is handmade by yourself and customised according to your skin and mental health state. You experience the endless healing power of nature in your own home and learn about your outer and inner beauty day by day.

Concept Book "The Ritual of local Handcraft" by Alice Weber
The Prototype - “ZHAOGU APP & DIY-kit”
The prototype consists of an App called “ZHAOGU” which means “taking care” in Chinese, and a DIY-kit called “The Ritual of local Handcraft” that enables the customer to create their own Rituals skin care.
The second part of the prototype consists of a wooden tower which can be used as a storage item for all the ingredients and equipment the DIY-kit is made of. Also, this wooden tower is useful for the mixing of all ingredients, so as a tiny working space.
