A studio for human connection

Technology should bring us closer.

We have more ways to reach each other than any generation before us, and less practice at arriving. Bonded Studio makes games, apps, and objects that help people be present together.

Come closer.

That is the whole idea.

Why we exist

Contact got easy. Closeness didn’t.

Bonded Studio grew out of five years of interactive art and research into attention, participation, and memory. That work is now becoming things two people can use together.

How we design

We design what contact cannot create.

01 Begin

A reason to start.

Questions, games, and shared experiences make the first move easier than starting from nothing.

02 Deepen

Closeness grows by choice.

Both people choose the pace, the depth, and what they reveal.

03 Remember

A moment that stays.

A good evening should leave more behind than a notification.

Made for two.

The app

One question. Two people. One room.

Choose a deck, invite someone, and move through the same prompts together. Answer or pass. When the conversation takes over, the app steps back.
