Maglink

Maglink Concept
Maglink is a social product concept. It helps people who suffer from social phobia to approach to the society. The product catches the social moment, shaking hands as the starting point to build connection between two people. The structure of Maglink is formed by a elastic ring for the thumb and two pieces of plastic, one on the thumb and the other on the back of the hand. With two magnets, one on the thumb and one on the back of the hand, people who wear Maglink can not separate their hands easily when they shake hands. The attraction ties people who have social phobia with others, pushing them to face the society. The magnets are still removable, but the strong attraction requires users to pull the magnets very hard to separate, indicating the power of the society is hard to ignore.
