Here is our not so sexy privacy policy.
Time is sacred and no unimportant disturbance is allowed. But in our modern society, we can't help but feel connected to our phone and the fear of missing out on important notifications. With The Focus Box, you have the control of determining which notifications are important to you.
Before placing your smartphone in The Focus Box, you choose your light-up-notifications and the color of the light. Light-up-notifications are your personally chosen notifications that will light up the box. The box also wirelessly charges your phone.
Say hello to the newest mandatory piece of home interior.
Beautifully designed by Scandinavian Woodworkers. The Focus Box
naturally fits into the style of your home. Entended to be timeless, The Focus Box never goes out of style.
Time is our most valuable currency.
Our goal is to bring back time and make you focus on what is important to you. With The Focus Box, you will never miss out. Sit down, relax and sometimes glance at The Focus Box.
We dream big.
And we need help supporting our dream by placing the Focus Box in every home that embraces family time and undisturbed togetherness.
Therefore you can support us on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter and be the first to get The Focus Box.
And by helping us build our dream, you also get the chance to buy the box at an early bird pricing.
We have built the first prototype of The Focus Box and tested the esthetics and placements. Our technical demands have been approved, both hardware and software. And it is ready to go into production after the crowdfunding campaign.
Because The Focus Box is family-focused, we will be reaching out to our followers to gain an even better insight into design, purpose, functionality, and focus. We will be doing surveys, focus groups, and more to end up with an even better product before launching on Kickstarter.
Holding our breath and wishing on a star, we launch on Kickstarter.
Before building the final box, the funding from the campaign is essential to create the product we want and love.
We hope people will join the offline era with us.
We have already partnered with potential product developers who believe in the project and want to be a part of the journey. They all agree that it is time for a digital change.
So we are ready if you are.
We are Sandra and Lars.
We live 30 minutes north of Copenhagen with our three lovely girls Inge, Solvej, and Alice.
We are both born and raised on a small island in the Baltic Sea called Bornholm. We are both digital immigrants and remember our childhood without digital disturbance. And we miss those times. We have started Ertholm because we want to give our childhood experiences back to our children. Family dinners and vacations where everyone was present and aware.
In the easternmost part of Denmark - a short sailing trip from Bornholm - lies Ertholmene, a small group of rocky islands. Here are high ceilings, fresh air, peace, and quiet. The archipelago has even been named one of Denmark's most beautiful. Here, even the smallest stone is protected - just as leisure time should be, away from the stressful and online everyday life where emails and notifications are continually ticking in.
Ertholm is a haven in everyday life. Here you can choose when you want to be available.
It is impossible to reach complete silence in modern-day life
with everything happening around us.
At Ertholm we don't try to fight away the digital disturbance but our mission is to create stillness in our minds and when we are around people we love.
Ertholm is a haven in everyday life where we find calm within the storm.
Our mission is to help people who acknowledge the digital storm around us and who want to create a more present life.
