IKEA Promises Peaceful Meals By Adding Smartphone Pockets To Placemats

IKEA just revealed all of the new creations that will be added to its upcoming 2016 catalogue. But if there’s one item that promises to genuinely make your home life better, it’s this placemat featuring a dedicated pocket for stashing a smartphone during dinner.

Part of the IKEA’s new Sittning line, the “Logged Out” placemat is designed to shame all of your dinner guests into surrendering and ignoring their mobile devices while everyone is enjoying a meal together. It doesn’t stop emails, text messages, or notifications from getting through, so you won’t miss any emergency calls, but it does stop you from being distracted by anyone who’s not actually at your table — or from displaying rude manners while you dine.
