RLX:tech is a contemporary relaxation agency designing therapeutic experiences for the over-connected. RLX:tech designs your interactions with your devices to be therapeutic; purposefully integrated within your personal and social spaces to make you feel better.

For VVITCHVVAVVE, RLX:tech will showcase a small selection from their current range of artisan wall hangings that combine print, acrylic and technology. Some hangings can be scanned with a free app to trigger guided meditations that manage the stressors of constant connectivity, such as FOMO or even being unfriended ☹️ Others take the form of abstracted divining mechanisms. Designed to sit in the home as a marker of personal change, these customisable discs abstract the journey of significant life events into decorative artefacts that offer meditative and/or restorative content when scanned with the app.

RLX:tech will also offer a limited number of free emoji fortune readings on the day. Upload a screen cap of your most recently used emoji to instagram and tag @rlxtech
