We first wrote about Stolp in 2021, calling it a signal-blocking butter dish for better phone habits. The concept is still the same: a small Faraday cage that blocks WiFi, 3-5G and Bluetooth signals for up to five phones placed inside. What's new is that the Belgian startup has gained a prominent new partner in Marie Kondo. They've collaborated on a limited edition Stolp phone box in two muted, matte colors: KonMari Brown and KonMari Sand. Each box comes with a guide to digital decluttering based on Kondo's famous joy-sparking philosophy.

Just as Kondo shaped contemporary views on home organization, inspiring many to adopt a more intentional approach to their living spaces, she and Stolp encourage people to take a thoughtful approach to their digital lives and the devices that distract them from focusing on what truly matters. By integrating Stolp into their daily routines, users can adopt a physical ritual for unplugging, making space for moments of calm and deeper connections with those around them.
