PIILO® Changes How We Interact with Smartphones
Piilo is a new, beautifully crafted smartphone container that helps create healthier and more sustainable boundaries with our smartphones. By keeping the phone out of sight, it restores presence and focus to everyday life. Designed and made in Finland, Piilo combines functional purpose with timeless and refined form.
Why Piilo Was Created
We love our smartphones, but digital overload is taking a toll. As the need for digital detox grows, Piilo offers a simple, tactile cue to break free, an elegant reminder to set healthy boundaries and reclaim your presence and focus in a digital world.
The Founder’s Insight and the Deeper Idea
Founder Sari Niemi shares:
“On average, we spend four hours a day on our phones. Piilo helps you cut that in half, giving back two precious hours each day. Imagine what that time could mean: more moments with loved ones, undistracted creative thinking, or simply being present in life.”
Piilo isn’t about rejecting our devices; it’s about creating healthier boundaries. Placing your phone inside is a conscious choice, an act of self-care that nurtures new routines and habits.
There is nothing digital about Piilo. It is 100% analogue. Piilo is more than a beautiful and functional object, it’s a gentle invitation to rest, reconnect, and truly live in the moment.
