Story: The “Rotten Tomato” is for people who feel stressed or anxious. The soft, squishy texture and comforting light offer a soothing way to release tension. When squeezed, the tomato lights up, mimicking the feeling of squishing a real overripe tomato, which can feel satisfying.
- Light Diffusion: The LEDs inside will glow brighter when the tomato is squeezed by using a combination of red and orange LEDs to give it a soft, glowing, “overripe” look.
- Materials: microfiber fabric could allow the light to diffuse softly as the shape changes under pressure.
