A smart device for comfortable baby sleep
Shema 2.0
My task was to redesign this “inner core” — to give the device a form that feels gentle in the hand, visually trustworthy for adults, and quietly expressive for children
Shema 2.0 is a smart device that helps babies fall asleep, stay calm, and feel safe — a small light-and-sound heart hidden inside a plush friend.
Parents control it from their phone; the child interacts with it naturally, over time, as they grow.

The geometry is soft, rounded, and deliberately slow — a shape that communicates comfort without slipping into “toy-like” exaggeration.
A single universal control element was developed: a tactile dial that extends with a press and rotates to adjust modes and volume. Compact, intuitive, and colored to match the device’s accent palette, it adds a small moment of delight each time it is used.

Although the exterior remains clean white, three elements bring identity and warmth:
a colored strap, a soft silicone base, and the pull-out dial.
Together, they create a gentle, gender-neutral character — available in subtle blue and rose tones.

Every detail is shaped for touch: the curve of the body, the smoothness of the silicone, the weight that feels “present” but never heavy.
It’s a device meant for small rituals — nighttime feedings, sleepy routines, quiet moments between parent and child.

Shema 2.0 is not just a toy. It is a tool for creating calm — designed with responsibility, proportion, and empathy
Shema 2.0 works both inside the plush kitten and on its own.
Enclosed, it turns the toy’s body into a glowing, breathing beacon of comfort.
Exposed, it becomes an expressive interface — showing simple icons, emotions, or states with soft, diffuse light.
