A future designed hand in hand with our community

We’re pioneering a new way of working that seeks to erase the barrier between company and community.

We see our community as team members. Fellow visionaries equally driven to leave behind the herd and chase something meaningful.

The 2024 Community Edition Project

Six months, four stages, one phone. Across this time we have collected over 1,000 entries from 47 countries, for the design of the ultimate version of Phone (2a) Plus. Spanning hardware, wallpapers, packaging and marketing, winners at each stage got the chance to engage directly with the Nothing Team as they brought their creations to life.
