Based on classic materials but mixed up with new technologies Boris has created the confession box. When you place your phone at the table it will automatically recharge via inductive charging as well as making a back up of your information. By this they mimic a procedure not far from the classic ritual of a confession allowing you to come clean.
In the light of different beliefs and with mixed religious touch points Boris presents their series of products. Boris says: ‘Sustainability is the mantra that has guided the development; from material selection and construction to energy consumption. Religion is about believing in something and this is our reason for the religious perspective – we do believe in Sustainability and we wish to show this devotion in our products.’
