Break Mode

The challenge

Smartphone habits make it hard for people to actually switch off.

The idea

The redesigned pack layers conductive metal, copper and polymer films to act as a Faraday cage around a phone. It was promoted at a tech expo, a major concert and a university campus, making 'Have a break' something the packaging physically enforces.
