The smartphone is both inherently productive and distracting, so the conceptual 'Hone' desk lamp has been designed to help offer users a way to curb their usage when trying to get work done.
The stylish lamp features a slender design that has a flat wireless charging pad on the base, which will power up devices and also put them into 'Do Not Disturb' mode. This ensures notifications that come in will be silenced to help users study or get work done in silence rather than constantly shifting between analog and digital work.
The conceptual 'Hone' desk lamp is the design work of Christopher Sarkisian and identifies the need for usage-restricting solutions as consumers seek out ways to reclaim their attention from devices.
