Samsung Exodus
People of the 21st century need a way to go offline - a place to hang their headset.
It used to be, that a man would come home from work and hang up his hat on a hatrack, as a way of saying to his family and himself: I'm home.

But times have changed and as phones have become a way for us to communicate with everyone everywhere, the clear line between a persons job and private life has dissolved, and work-related stress is affecting more and more people. 21st century people need a way to go offline - a place to hang their headset.

The Exodus is a hatrack for your headset, that sits in the entrance of your home. It serves as a digital link to your e-mail and social media, and an analog link to the people you live with. When it detects a headset placed onto its hook, it stops the associated phone from receiving work- related emails, and notifies your social media.

By hanging up your headset you are sending a digital message your workplace, and an analog message to people in your home and maybe even more importantly to yourself, that you are offline.
