In this day and age of plastic gadgets and sleek chic design, a wooden thing is practically a rare thing. All those hours of milling, sanding and drilling hardly makes it worth the instant plastic moulding technologies out there. So here is iPhone + wooden dock:
And this is not the only one. Retro mini TV, old school radio box - Jonas Damon draws his inspiration from that which is not today. The idea of using retro forms seem more important than the design itself (most are aesthetic only products after all). Countless iPhone accessories line themselves out the door for dazzled Apple fans: why not have the worked-up wooden version? What an iRoll.
I like this design.
ReplyDeleteThere is a company making a lot of these things in Japan.
I often buy stationary and furniture at this store.
