The landline for your smartphone.
A handset that takes your calls privately, becomes a speaker when you set it down, and charges your phone while it sits there.

ONE OBJECT · BRAIDED CABLE INCLUDED
off-hook adj.
The state of a telephone line when the handset has been lifted and the call is live. For most of the twentieth century it was the difference between being reachable and being left alone — a state you could see from across the room.
A telephone handset that isn't attached to a telephone.
It pairs with the phone already in your pocket. Every call you'd take on speaker, or with an earbud, or by holding a slab of glass against your face — you take on this instead.
At the listening end. Private by default — the call stays between you and the caller.
Call, table, off. A physical switch, not a setting. You can see the state across the room.
Answer, end, mute. Volume by thumb, without looking, mid-call.
Power out to your phone. The receiver sits on the desk doing two jobs at once.
Pick it up. Set it down. Plug it in.
A private call, held
Earpiece at your ear, microphone at your mouth. A focused call posture — no slab against your face, nothing in your ears, no charging another device before you can take a call.
Table sound
It rests on its side, drivers facing the room. Designed for tabletop speakerphone and near-field listening where you're already working.
Power for your phone
An internal battery with USB-C power out, targeted up to 30 W for compatible devices.* The object on your desk is also the thing that keeps your phone alive through the afternoon. A braided cable is included — and in the studio series, it is matched to the finish.
Lift it, and the call begins.
The gesture everyone born before 2000 already knows. When the receiver is in call mode and the phone rings, raising it to your ear answers — no key, no glance, no hunting for a button. The call starts in the same motion as bringing it to your face.
The slider stays the single authority over where audio goes. In table or off, a lift does nothing — the object can't answer from inside a bag.
A single machined key rather than a green and red pair. Fewer things on the surface, one thing to learn.
Machined aluminium, bead-blasted, detented like a good scroll wheel. Sunk into the plate so your thumb finds it without looking, mid-call.
One plate, three controls, no screen
Everything sits in a single satin gunmetal panel inset into the body. The mode slider is mechanical and persistent — you can read the object's state from across a desk. A pinprick indicator and two quiet tones tell you when a call connects and when it ends.
Reserve a place.

One object. Many expressions.
The standard model ships first, in one restrained finish. Beyond it we're exploring a studio series — the same instrument, the same geometry, treated as an object worth looking at.
Studio finishes are explorations, not committed products. They are shown to indicate direction. Availability, finishes and pricing are undetermined, and the standard model is the only one planned for the founding batch.
