It promotes leaving smartphones out of the bedroom by offering a classic alarm clock that is both functional and aesthetically appealing as an alternative to smartphone alarms. A key objective was to position Mudita Bell as a more affordable option compared to the more advanced Harmony, while still providing a mindful solution for better sleep. Photos by Mudita

question
The challenge was to design a classic alarm clock with enhanced functionality that remains simple and competitive with smartphone alarms including a wide melody selection, backlight, snooze, and USB-C charging. The goal was to create a wake-up experience that is both gentle and non-disruptive. Additionally, ensuring the alarm clock was pleasing and repairable was crucial, to align with Mudita’s values of longevity and mindful living.
solution
The Mudita Bell is a minimalist alarm clock designed to support the brand’s mission of "leaving the phone out of the bedroom" and promoting a healthy sleep routine. It features neutral colors with a satin finish and high-contrast readable watch face. Offers 10 gradual analog melodies, including koshi bells and nature sounds from Poland. The subtle backlight emits minimal blue light (2700 K) to prevent harsh wake-ups. Powered by a rechargeable 2600 mAh battery lasting around two months, the clock is fully repairable with a simple Phillips screw for easy maintenance.
