The smartphone is a tribune, our rostrum. This object has transformed from a simple functional device, into the stone on which we engrave our thoughts and images. Our new social commandments emerge from this pedestal that holds one’s own personal stature. It has become one of our most precious belongings, a deformed mirror of ourselves, a perpetual social mask. We are naked when we are disconnected. Vault is about the ritual, the act of getting naked: letting go of our social mask. Meant to put into perspective both our attachment to, and detachment from our phones; Vault emphasizes the action of disconnecting from ones virtual life or magnifying it. The hand-sculpted shape has mirror finishing meant to connote the reflected image of ourselves. When the chest is closed it wirelessly recharges your phone all the while shutting down any contact with the world. If left open the Vault turns into a bedside lamp or it simply magnifies your phone notifications. Lingering between nakedness and full attire, Vault is meant to remind us of the complex relationship we have with our phones.
