Lately, i’ve been getting back into going into the modern furniture shop again, you know more then just window shopping. I took a break awhile because i just felt like i wouldn’t find any original pieces to gawk at and then slowly make my way to the price tag to find out how much money something is that i’ll never be able to afford. Recently though my newest fascination again are simple mod plastic phones, portable TVs, and alarm clocks. This one by Marco Zanuso really caught my eye.

strangely looks like a computer mouse all folded up and a vintage flip cell phone while open…cool.
That is a Grillo phone, designed in 1965 by Marco Zanuso and Richard Sapper. Both are responsible for some of the most iconic electronics of the period, particularly the ones they designed for Brionvega. http://www.brionvega.it
Thanks Anthony for the link!
Damn, you reminded me that my uncle had one of these red ones, when I was a kid. When I grew up I remembered about that beautifull phone he had and asked for it… It had been trashed 🙁 🙁
Oh man I love that.
The aesthetic of vintage, plastic phones is so on point, and I want to get my hands on one soon.
