The focus of HESTIA is communication between family members.
Not so long ago, the dining table was a place where family communication was strengthened. However, today social media on the smartphone is more interesting than talking to others.
HESTIA is designed to solve this problem with a hidden docking station. This is where the smartphones can be stored so that they do not interfere with communication. When you then close the docking station again, a flat inconspicuous hologram on the table will appear with small bluish koi depending on the number of smartphones stored. Overall, the hologram should create a calm and friendly atmosphere.
