Envelope
Temporarily transform your phone into a simpler, calmer device
A set of envelopes which temporarily transform your phone into a simpler, calmer device, helping you take a break away from your digital world.
One envelope turns your phone into a very basic device which can only make and receive calls, while the other turns your phone into a photo and video camera with no screen, helping you focus on what’s in front of you.
To use Envelope, you simply choose the right envelope for your day, and seal your phone inside. The first envelope acts as a simple phone, which only allows you to make and receive calls, as well as selecting a speed dial contact. A special app on the device takes over the screen and simply waits for you to dial.
Special Projects is interested in the theme of digital wellbeing, and more specifically how leading technology companies are now integrating wellbeing features into their software.
