AND THIS COMES FROM KNOWLEDGE(…)”
Stefano Nasetti
DS01 is built on the idea of awareness
and on how the user is not forced not to use
the phone but he self-regulate.
Everything revolves around our time
and not the one imposed by an object.
Gestures
DS01 uses different gestures made on other
everyday objects: the clock and the hourglass.
Light not to "get lost"
The more you use DS01, the more the hourglass lights up.
In this way you understand the real use of the phone.
Each hole coincides to 10 minutes.
The time deceives us
Everytime we want to know the time, we unlock the smartphone and we look other things.
DS01 has a clock on the back. This, with the pleasing graphics, incites the user
to turn the smartphone down to eliminate the attractiveness of the display.
Do you want more time?
Don’t waste it.
Manage what matters
Pushing the control wheel, you (un)lock the smartphone
and turning it, the apps are displayed one by one not to “get lost” in a wider menu. Than you browse touching.
Pulling it, the settings are visible. By joining together these gestures, you adjust the volume. The movement is mono-stable.
Red gripped material to give it relevance and to increase
the ergonomics.
More instants for ourselves
You can choose to block all alerts or to keep active calls
and SMS, usually urgent.
Why slide? It refers figuratively to the passage of the time.
The movement goes from the inner (us) to the outer (the others).
Red gripped material like the control wheel.
