For consumers seeking a way to disconnect from their smartphone, the Tranquillo Light might be just the way to do so thanks to its design that only works with an offline mobile device. The lamp only lights if a smartphone is placed on its dock, allowing consumers to have a break from their digital devices.
With tech devices being one of the most frequent ways consumers communicate amongst one another and stay connected, it can be difficult to find a reason to separate from them. The Traquillo light prompts owners to do just that, by only turning on when a smartphone is surrendered onto the base of the lamp. The lamp is able to detect the smartphone's weight and placement, and cleverly turns the device to a 'Do Not Disturb' setting.
