A connected handset.
For calls that still feel like calls.

Sprout TeleWorks is the next object in the line. A tactile little telephone that lives in its own cradle. Pick it up to take the call. Set it back down to end it. No app to open. No screen to unlock.

A person holds the Sprout TeleWorks handset — transparent shell, soft blue keypad — at a wood desk. The olive-green cradle sits nearby with a small ceramic pot and a notebook.

Two finishes

Pick the cradle. Olive, or clear.

The handset stays the same. The cradle is where the personality lives. Olive-green for the room you want it to disappear into. Clear for the room you want it to almost vanish from.

The clear option, in context

For the room that doesn't want a green object in it.

The clear finish reads almost like glass — present when you look for it, gone when you don't. Same handset, same cradle, same exact behavior. Just a quieter object on the desk.

How it lives

Three moments. No menus in between.

The handset has three states, and they are exactly what you'd expect from a telephone: resting, ringing, in use. The phone never asks you anything else.

01 · Resting

Docked. At ease.

The handset sits in its cradle and charges. The cradle is also the speaker for ambient call announcements. The object looks like it's doing nothing — which is the point.

02 · Ringing

A soft signal. No buzz.

An incoming call lights a low warm edge on the cradle and plays a single chime — no escalating buzz, no notification chaos. Pick the handset up to answer.

03 · In use

Held. Heard.

Mid-call, the keypad glows just enough to dial. The shell warms slightly in the hand. Set the handset back down to end the call — no swipe, no confirm.

What we left out

No screen. No app. No menus.

You can't scroll on it. You can't get notifications on it. You can't open a feed on it. You can dial, you can answer, you can hang up. That's the whole product.

The cradle pairs to your phone over Bluetooth and uses your existing number. The handset is what your hand does.

Be on the short list.

We'll send a single note when the TeleWorks reservation window opens — you'll have the first chance at finish, color, and a real ship date. Two emails a month, at most. No tracking pixels.
