This might appeal to those who place sticky notes on their monitor’s bezel. Called Contour, it’s by Budapest-based industrial designer Adam Miklosi.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s designed to attach to an iMac, and sits about 20mm behind the plane of the screen.<\/p>\n

Is it better than sticky notes? The only advantage I see is that you don’t have to orient your note according to that line of adhesive. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For his part, Miklosi writes that the added visual barrier around your screen “[creates] a subtle buffer that helps reduce both visual and acoustic distractions. By screening out movement, conversations, and background activity, it helps users stay focused without isolating them from their surroundings.” I think that’s kind of a stretch, but then it’s been a long time since I worked in a crowded office.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Miklosi’s producing Contour via Corkway<\/a>, a B2B manufacturer of cork objects. They partner with designers as project-based fabricators or development partners, and you can learn more about them here.<\/a> <\/p>\n
