LAYER collaborated with leading crypto brand Ledger and renowned entrepreneur Tony Fadell to create Ledger Stax. The defining feature of the credit-card-sized Ledger Stax is the innovative and sustainable e-ink touchscreen that curves around the front face and spine of the device to elevate the user experience.

The name “Ledger Stax” comes from the ability to magnetically stack the devices, as you would stack physical currency or conventional ledger books. This gives users the ability to store and organise different portfolios on separate devices. The energy efficient screen also creates a clear visual interface and a more personalised experience, with the option to display photographs or NFTs on the lockscreen.

LAYER brought Ledger Stax to life through an iterative design and engineering process that explored function, format, size, UI, materiality, and the integration of an innovative flexible e-ink screen through dozens of prototypes. We also led the design for manufacture process, and designed reusable packaging that challenges convention and takes users on a journey of discovery.
