"This phone is so minimal it doesn't even have a name. This brick-ish beauty comes from the mind of Keziah Mendjisky, an industrial design student out of Paris. The idea is simple, how much can you take away from current phones to give you something that feels like a phone and performs like a phone, but doesn't have any of the distractions? Mendjisky's attempt at re-envisioning a connectivity device is gorgeously risqué, resulting in something that you'd first think was a calculator."
"Grab it, however, and you'll realize it doesn't have your calculator's layout. The numbers are laid out like a phone, starting from the top unlike a calculator (which starts from the bottom), there are volume and playback keys, and two conspicuous buttons marked green and red, which become obvious once you realize they're for answering or rejecting calls. Everything gets packaged in a design format that would make folks at Braun or Teenage Engineering very happy -"
A minimal, brick-like phone design removes glass screens and endless scrolling, focusing on essential phone functions. The device uses a backlit plastic panel with a dot-matrix light-up display to show time, weather, and core elements. A top-left tactile scroll wheel navigates functions and contacts. Two conspicuous green and red buttons handle answering and rejecting calls, while volume and playback keys and a speaker key enable control and loudspeaker mode. The speaker sits above the button array. The aesthetic emphasizes white surfaces, tactility, and playful restraint, evoking influences like Braun and Teenage Engineering.
