ohne

The ohne is a phone without all of the buzz that tends to hijack our attention for hours every day. It is an intentional tech product that utilises the Nudge theory to encourage healthier user behaviour.  The ohne Phone Project was born out of frustration with the overuse of our addictive smartphones. The project was set up by fellow design student Giovanni De Conti and I during our exchange year at Köln Internation School of Design.

The project garnered a lot of interest within the school and plans are in motion to take this project further. 



The project’s other members were: Antonio Completo, Carlos Rivera and Jeldrik Kirschbaum.
