1. Ohne Phone.


Ohne Phone is a self-initiated project by 5 students, including me, at KISD.
Ohne Phone, which translation means Without Phone, is not only a brand and a product. Ohne Phone is a warning for a problem that most of us live nowadays: being addicted to our mobile phone.


2. / 3. / 4. Presentation of the Ohne Phone. / 5. / 6. / 7. Drawings and mockups that resulted from our meetings.


The mobile phone became much more than a tool for calling each other, it’s an essential distracting machine that we cant live without. That way our goal was bringing all the basics of an old phone (small size, basic functions) and some new tools of a smartphone (maps, camera, file explorer) to a simple undistracting device. The clock on the back/side shows what it really matters, your time, and pixel is the constrain and the nostalgia that makes everything simpler.
Live simpler, live Ohne Phone.


8. / 9. Final renders of the Ohne Phone. / 10. / 11. / 12. / 13. / 14. Some examples of the Ohne Phone software that was tested on figma.


Even though this project wasn’t perfect, it was fun. In the process to create this product we got to share a lot of views and experiences together, specially being each of us from different countries.
Either way, at the end we made everyone interested in the topic, which made us very happy with the outcome.


15. / 16. Meetings and mockups. / 17. Our team! Giovanni, Jeldrik, Siggi, Carlos and António.
