NOT OLD.
JUST
UNFINISHED.
Every year, millions of smartphones are forgotten in drawers, replaced, abandoned or thrown away. But a device does not lose its value just because it is no longer new.
A_SECOND_LIFE gives old technology a new purpose, transforming forgotten devices into useful, beautiful and meaningful objects.
WHY REUSE MATTERS
Many phones still work. Some only have a cracked screen, a weak battery, limited memory, an old operating system or small defects that make them less attractive as personal devices.
But inside each one there is still technology: a screen, speakers, sensors, a camera, a processor, connectivity and energy already spent to produce it. Throwing it away too early means wasting all of that.
Before recycling, we can imagine. Before replacing, we can transform. Before forgetting, we can give technology another role in our lives.
MUSIC DOCK
An old phone can become a dedicated music player, always ready at home, in the studio or in a child’s room.
SMART OBJECT
With the right case, a forgotten device can become a useful digital object instead of staying hidden in a drawer.
SECURITY DEVICE
A working camera, screen and Wi-Fi connection can be reimagined as a simple home monitoring device.
