The DallerGut Dream Department Store

Bringing fiction into a multi-sensory, all-in-one product for people with insomnia.

We are a sub-brand of the book DallerGut Dream Department Store, written by Miye Lee and translated to English by Sandy Joosun Lee. Miye Lee imagined a world of dreams and wonders with the hope of enriching people's life and help them have a good night's sleep (Lee, 2019, p.vi).

We kept this goal in mind and brought DallerGut Dream Department Store into life by combining the elements in the story and transforming it into a multi-sensory product designed to help people who have insomnia to relax and wind down.

Individual Project

sight

The Immersive Projector & Night Light - Entering the realm of dreams

When we lie down on bed, thousands of thoughts races through our minds. The more we want it to stop, the more of it appears. We understand how overwhelming this feels, so wander through space and the nature with us, to calm your mind and put your worries at rest.

In the story, each dreammaker creates different kinds of dreams. We drew inspiration from the dreams they make and bring it in front of your eyes. The projector will project the following dreams for you to wander in:

1) "Floating in Space Gazing Down on Earth" by Wawa Sleepland (p.2)
2) "Living Forest" by Wawa Sleepland ( p.167-168)
3) "A Night in Middle Ages" by Wawa Sleepland (p.134)
4) "Crossing the Pacific Ocean as a killer whale" by Kick Slumber (p.2-3)

The Wonder Clock - The Time in Dream

A hand watch sized clock is combined into the product for you to see the time during night. The base of the numbers and pointers will glow throughout the night!

HEARING

Smoothing Music - The Voice from Dreams

In our busy and fast pacing world, music is a wonderful way to find down and relax. This product allows you to choose your favourite sound of wonder with dreams, or play it individually when you want to calm down. We also provide you the ability to connect our product with your devices to play your own soothing music through bluetooth.

Options to choose from:
1) Rain Forest
2) Pondering through space
3) Ocean Waves

TASTE

Deep Sleep Candy - The Taste of Wonder

Deep Sleep Candy are designed to help people fall in sleep faster and easier with Tangy Lemonade flavour, packaged in DEEP OCEAN colour and TANGY colour inspired by an element of the book - the dream payment called "Curiosity":

The "Curiosity" payment has the colour of DEEP OCEAN and the TANGY SWEETNESS flavour which fills your mouth like a "roller coaster" (Lee, 2019, p.92-93).

THE CANDY DRAWER WILL POP OUT ONCE YOU PRESS THE CENTRE WINDOW!

SMELL

Pillow Spray - The Smell of Dream

The pillow spray is filled with the scent of summer forest, inspired by the perfume DallerGut, the owner of the DallerGut Dream Department Store, uses to help his customers sort through their thoughts and practice mindfulness.

In the story…

"DallerGut takes out a bottle of perfume the size of his palm and sprays it on the customers pyjamas sleeves. A subtle scent of summer forest spreads through their clothes…This perfume helps you sort though your thoughts in a positive direction" (p.113)

Our packaging resembles the feeling of summer forest with a bit of night mystery vibes to express the concept of dreams.

Ingredients: Lavender, Chamomile, Sweet Orange and Witch Hazel

We use the best nature ingredients to help you put the racing mind to rest, relax and rewind…

FEEL

The Humidifier - The Feel of Wonder

The humidifier is inspired by the concept of "Calm Diffuser" appeared in the book. In the story, this diffuser is used by a Dreammaker called Yasnoozz Otra, one of the Legendary Big Five house.

In the story…

'"The entire house exudes an air of maturity, possibly from using the "Calm Diffuser"…' (p.191)

But instead of making the air more mature, we make the air more COMFORTABLE for you! To refill water, simply open the cap!

There are 3 Modes to this humidifier:
1) Continuous spray which will stop when the water level reaches 100ml
2) 1 Hour Spray, perfect for sleep
3) Auto Spray, stop once it detects the room humidity has reached 50%
