The Zeed+ was inspired by "Ikebana," the Japanese traditional art of formal flower arrangement. Each of the stem-shaped hardware units has its own function: one stem controls media, another houses the operating system, another manages networking and so on. The stems are interchangeable so that the PC can be outfitted for different user types. Commands are entered by touching the vase, or base of the PC, which acts as the monitor. The Zeed+ was designed by Kenneth W. K. Wu, an independent designer from Toronto, Canada.
