How long has it been since you last heard the sound of your own breathing?

Have you ever had moments when you're alone, yet your phone feels like a black hole, sucking away all your time and attention? You mechanically scroll through short videos—those funny clips and attractive people burst before your eyes like colorful bubbles, leaving no trace behind. It feels as if you're witnessing others' beautiful lives, yet you forget that you’re part of it too.

You feel anxious, empty, and want to escape, but you can't help but click on the next video, falling into an endless loop…

Perhaps we need to find a different way to interact with our phones. For instance, try this “anti-smartphone” — where the “phone with no screen” steps into reality.

At first glance, the SP seems completely out of place compared to the ultra-slim, full-screen smartphones on the market. It has no cold glass display; instead, it features rows of smooth stone beads embedded in a matte black casing. The touch is as smooth as jade, like a futuristic work of art radiating a mysterious allure.

Don’t underestimate these stone beads—they are the soul of the SP. The designer cleverly transformed typical smartphone touch gestures into various sliding motions of the beads, allowing you to “play” with it while re-examining your relationship with your phone.

For example, sliding up and down—doesn’t it remind you of those endless days of scrolling through short videos? Countless days and nights spent like a busy little bee, tirelessly collecting nectar from the garden of information, while forgetting to lift your head and look at the real scenery.
Or how about sliding diagonally? Doesn’t it remind you of scrolling through carefully curated photos on social media, passing judgment on strangers while neglecting the warmth and companionship of those truly around you?

And the gesture of zooming in with two fingers—doesn’t it bring back memories of those late nights spent binge-watching shows or reading novels? You were immersed in the shifting lights and shadows of a virtual world, while missing the beauty of real-life sunrises and sunsets.

The SP, in an almost "absurd" way, pulls us out of the virtual world of our phones and back into reality. It allows us to once again feel the real touch of objects beneath our fingertips, hear the sound of our own breathing, and sense the true passage of time.

Can this device really help us break our phone addiction?

We can't expect the SP to be a one-time solution for phone addiction like "nicotine gum." After all, the root of phone addiction lies in our deep-seated reliance on information, entertainment, and social interaction, as well as our dissatisfaction with and avoidance of real life.

The SP serves more as a mirror, reflecting our inner anxieties and emptiness, reminding us that our phone is just a tool, not the entirety of our lives.

Instead of getting lost in the virtual world, why not put down your phone and embrace real life? Engage in face-to-face conversations with friends, appreciate the beauty of nature, explore the unknown, and create your own exciting life.

If you truly can't resist the temptation of your phone, you might try the SP. Perhaps it can help you temporarily escape the “clutches” of your device and give yourself a chance to breathe.

This conceptual work by Austrian designer KS, although not mass-produced, has sparked reflection on our reliance on phones. Perhaps this is the greatest value of the SP.
