The article discusses a new concept called Aperture by Special Projects, aiming to make smartphones less overwhelming. The innovative phone case limits display space to essential apps, allowing users to engage with their devices in a more mindful way. Inspired by the sight of a small window left by an inverted phone case, designers focused on maintaining functionality without excessive stimuli. The design promotes a balance between technology use and personal boundaries, suggesting that a mindful approach, rather than total disconnection, could enhance user satisfaction.
We're trying to find the right balance between being helpful and not preachy, says Clara Gaggero Westaway, cofounder and creative director at Special Projects.
By flipping the case over, users can choose to engage with a smaller set of essential smartphone functions, reducing distractions.
