Naoto Fukasawa INFOBAR telephone




Hey here's a nice phone by the legendary Naoto Fukasawa, you might know him as the designer of some of Muji's nicest stuff, like the cd player that looks like a kitchen fan. He used to work for IDEO in San Francisco, then became IDEO's head in Tokyo, starting his own business in 2003. There a really good article about him here
I like that this phone has a form all of its own, nothing like any other phone out there that I've seen. Why aren't there phones like this out there that have such a soft form? It looks really comfortable to hold and it has nice big keys and will sit nicely in your pocket. Anyone else out there like it? I don't think we're going to ever get this in the UK which is a shame cos I'd like an excuse to ditch my Nokia brick.
