INTERVAL is a family of three products that ultimately decenter the cell phone from the user’s life. The objects accept all sizes of phones. The user experience is designed to reflect a routine that happens when people arrive home from their workplace or school. Consequently, INTERVAL includes a timer, a music player, and a table lamp. One of three scenarios aligns with each product in the family: a moment of concentration, a moment of relaxation, and a moment of connection. All three products raise awareness of phone use as a means of preventing the mindless picking up of the phone.
