Soft Messages are like Post-it notes for loved ones.
They don't disrupt daily life, but they remain meaningful within the context of the home. Each family member has a personal tile for recording and receiving voice messages: lift to leave a message and press to listen.
The modular design adapts to different family sizes, with technical components housed in the top section. This leaves space for customisable, low-tech tiles to match the family's aesthetic preferences.
