The Aperture phone case, more of an art project than a technological product, seeks to encourage conscious phone usage. By introducing a friction point—removing the case to access your phone—it encourages reflection on device dependency. The inspiration stemmed from a previous project, Paper Phone, which utilized a paper format to limit digital distractions. Special Projects intends to address struggles with compulsive phone habits creatively, potentially influencing more thoughtful interactions with technology.
"It's basically transforming a compulsive behavior into a conscious behavior," Clara says.
"This is something that many people are struggling with," Adrian says. "There are many solutions, but there was something about this that just clicked."
