Wood, brass, and a single button. No app. No notifications. Press it and the room goes quiet for fifty minutes. Two hundred made by hand in Brooklyn.
The first prototype was a tomato I cut in half with a kitchen knife and stuck a brass thumbtack into. It worked better than every productivity app on my phone.
Six prototypes and one tiny workshop in Gowanus later, Pulse Lab is what I would buy if someone else had made it. It does one thing. It will outlive the laptop next to it. And it asks nothing of you except that you press the button.
Batch 01 is two hundred units. I'm making them on a lathe, by hand, between September and November. — Aida
"A small, satisfying object that does exactly one thing — and refuses to do anything else."
"Funded in 4h 22m. The second batch sold out before the first one shipped."
"It belongs on the same shelf as a Leuchtturm and a Lamy 2000."
"Pulse Lab is the rare hardware story where the product matches the romance."
