A New Aged Cell Phone- Imagine This

Rawphisticated Cell Phone (pictured above)

The phone designed with wrinkles. This cell phone exhibits a deliberately unfinished finish. There is tension between its roughness and smooth realization, but isn't this a more honest representation of life and how we live it? No orange is a perfect sphere; no tree grows in a perfectly straight line. Why then do we seek perfections in our lives and in our objects? The rawphisticated phone plays with the real world of being and becoming and refuses to privilege either the unfinished or the perfected state. It comes out of your pocket dog-eared and wrinkled, like a business card would, or rough and chiseled, revealing the hand of the sculptor.

CUn5: Superpractical Cell Phone (pictured above)

Consumer electronics nurture dreams of pure functionality, which mostly lead to products characterized by generic features and dull practicality. This need not be the case. Why not push practicality to a higher level? A practical mobile phone will have its buttons neatly aligned for maximum legibility. A superpractical phone will array them across every possible surface so that no matter which way you grab it – upside down, in the dark, in a panic or just plain drunk – you have immediate access to a dialing surface. The first surface touched becomes active and aglow, ready for you to dial, talk, or listen, while the others lock patiently in place.
