The Nothing Phone (2a) Plus Community Edition is here to light up your tech world—literally! This special, glow-in-the-dark edition was designed with the Nothing community, involving fans in every stage of its development, from concept to completion. Following a collaborative design process, this limited-release smartphone embodies a unique aesthetic, inspired by fireflies, and glows without electricity, powered solely by daylight exposure.
The Four Stages of Creation
Nothing’s design journey began six months ago with community input across four stages:
- Stage 1: Hardware Design
Winners Astrid Vanhuyse and Kenta Akasaki collaborated with Nothing’s Design Director Adam Bates and CMF Designer Lucy Birley. Their design, inspired by fireflies, uses glow-in-the-dark materials, matching the iconic lights that define the Nothing brand. - Stage 2: Custom Wallpapers
Andrés Mateos created six exclusive wallpapers, perfectly complementing the hardware’s luminescent design. - Stage 3: Packaging
Ian Henry Simmonds took on packaging, creating a fresh look for the Community Edition that reflects the phone’s unique character. - Stage 4: Marketing Campaign
Sonya Palma crafted the campaign tagline, “Find your light. Capture your light,” underscoring the phone’s glow-in-the-dark feature and unique design.
