Phone Box #2

This was the second box and lid set cast from the mould. They have more bubbles and details than the final light purple boxes.

Do you pick up your phone when you’d rather not be on it? When you’re trying to work, study, or sleep? Know someone who wishes they didn't spend hours scrolling every morning? Smartphones are masterful at keeping our attention, and they do their job too well.

This box is a proposal for overcoming the addictive nature of smartphones. It has magnets that locate the substantial lid to the base and a hole for a charger cable and sound to pass through. It has a handle on the lid, with waves extending outwards.

Now you can choose to put the phone away, and every time you pick up this lid, you’ll be reminded of the promise you made to yourself to stay off it and be present.

It is made from Jesmonite, an eco-friendly water-based acrylic resin mixed with gypsum. It has stone-like properties such as its mass, and being cool to the touch. It is sealed with an acrylic sealer.

Fits a maximum phone size of 180L x 90W x 15.5D mm. The overall dimensions of the box are 210 L x 130W x 90D mm.
