Phones in, close, get back to other things. Stolp is a Faraday cage built to put phones out of sight, out of mind, and once fully closed block out all phone signal. No distractions (or radiation) in one simple gesture.

Stolp PhoneBox is about creating a daily disconnection ritual around moments that matter and deserve your full attention. Discover pure peace of mind, clarity and uninterrupted time. For more togetherness and flowing conversations. For more time doing what you love. For more slowing down. Time to be present, unplug and enjoy moments at their fullest.

Stolp PhoneBox is a stylish faraday cage designed for modern life and space. Faraday cage technology ensures that once the phones are placed inside and fully closed no signal can enter. No phone signals, 3-5G, WiFi, Bluetooth, RFID on your phone will come in, nor out.

This is an exclusive collaboration with our friends from Belgium design brand Stolp.

  • Works as a faraday cage. Once fully closed no signal comes in, nor out.
  • Fits up to 4-5 smartphones, depending on size and cover (e.g. PhoneBack)
  • For all phone sizes: 16.7 × 8 cm.
  • High-grade matte 'soft-touch' finishing
  • 100% distraction-free.
  • Radiation-free.
How to Stolp
The most distracting aspect of our phones is the fact they’re always with us. This put us in the state of being always mentally switched on. Stolp Phone Box helps you break with this habit of being ‘always on’ by using a few key behavioral principles:

Beautiful reminder

Humans are strongly wired to sight. The product adds to your daily space and acts as a visual reminder to encourage you to unplug at specific moments or occasions.

Out of sight, out of mind.

The mere presence of phones is proven to be distracting in itself. Keeping them out of sight and reach helps us break with the mindless habit of grabbing for your phone.

Unplugging ritual

Your brain gravitates towards simple actions, and by committing to a distinct unplugging routine we can more easily build the habit.

We recommend placing the Stolp Phone Box somewhere in an environment where you want to create a daily phone-free ritual for yourself, together or alone. Set a clear intention and commit to that uninterrupted, undisturbed time.
Origin Story

Don't get us wrong. Phones are great. But despite all the good they bring, our bottomless scrolling habits and culture of 'always-on' comes at a price. Stolp believes we can embrace these devices but it’s time to get back in the driver's seat.

They say time is the one thing you can’t buy. And while that’s true, ironically in today’s digital world, human attention has become the new currency. As a result, the devices that connect us all, also tend to disconnect us sometimes from what it means to be human.

Our friends at Stolp are here to make disconnection feel easier. They're here to tip the scales back in your favor by encouraging you towards new habits, instead of desperately resisting old, rusty ones. They're here to guide you to find new ways to switch off that work best for you. To make sure you embrace technology but remain human, making time for the things you care about every day.

Don’t stop, Stolp.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I expect an urgent phone call?

Stolp Phone Box can be used in two modes. In the first mode, you're fully disconnected and fully offline. No phone calls, no WhatsApp notifications, no nothing. In or out. In the second mode, you do not fully close Phone Box. That way signal comes in and you can receive that important notifications. Phone Box still helps you to disconnect as you're being visually reminded by Phone Box to put the phone away from time to time and when it's inside, to not to reach for your phone mindlessly.

How many phones fit? Will my phone fit?

PhoneBox fits nearly every phone on the market. If you want to be sure yours fits, the internal tray dimensions of Stolp are 16.5cm × 8.5 × 5.5ccm so it fits 99% of all smartphones on the market. If you're unsure, you can measure to verify your phone's dimensions. Make sure to take into account a little extra if you have a case or a case-wallet. No need for extra measurement if you're using Süti PhoneBack, of course.

Depending on the phone sizes and covers used, Stolp Phone Box typically can hold 4—5 devices when fully closed.

Faraday cage, being offline? How does that work?

Stolp Phone Box acts as a ‘cage of Faraday’, an enclosure to block electromagnetic fields. The cage, which Stolp is, blocks all signals. This means you won’t have phone reception, wifi or 3G/4G/5G. No signal comes in, nor out. When Stolp is fully closed, all signals are fully blocked: you're 100% offline.

When Stolp is closed but not fully, the signals aren't blocked. In this mode, you can charge your phone via power cable while you still enjoy the benefit of 'out of sight, out of mind'.

Will my alarm clock still work when my phone is in the PhoneBox?

Yes, though the sound will be slightly muffled. You might want to turn the volume up if you're a deep sleeper. As a matter of fact, all other offline functions on your phone like reminders, calendar, etc. will continue to work when the Stolp Phone Box is fully closed.

There’s an NFC tag on the inside tray. What can I do with that?

With NFC, you can create your own phone automations: if you perform the gesture of holding your phone against the NFC-tag in the Phone Box, your phone registers the signal and can perform a task you've chosen.

Let's clarify that with some examples from our users:

  • You come home and place your phone in the PhoneBox. This triggers a message with your chosen text like 'Honey, I'm home' automatically gets sent to your partner, kids, employees, etc.
  • Your phone automatically goes into battery saving mode when it’s inside Phone Box.

Stolp has a built-in NFC tags on the inside tray for when you put your phone in Stolp. Setting up the automation needs to be done beforehand on your phone. It works best with an iPhone Xr 11 or higher, as there's passive NFC and it can be easily done in the Apple native app called 'Shortcuts'. Happy tagging!

Faraday tech to block out distraction & radiation

Fit multiple devices of all types

Timeless design for any space or occasion

Airplane mode for the brain.

Can’t I just turn it off? Be more disciplined? We get it. At first you might think: why need a physical object to balance my phone use? Behavioral science breaks this myth. In a digital-led society, humans are simply too wired to these devices to solely rely on willpower. Rebalancing requires a new routine.

The mere presence of these devices is what keeps us hooked. It hijacks our state of mind, our brain’s ancient desire to wonder what it might find once it unlocks the phone. Breaking with this mindless habit of ‘always on’ we need to create physical and mental barriers.
