Icono: Bonding with Your Phone
Creativity gets lauded initially but when that same thing finds a place in our every day verves, that emotional value deteriorates. Nothing unusual in it for it’s the law of nature but then we can make efforts from time to time to revive the same connection between you and the inventions. Telephones have similarly reached a stage where we do not really care about the emotional value and it was time that someone came up with the idea which made the idea of communicating using phones a pleasurable experience all over again. British Designer Zin Chan chose to revive that emotion using Icono. A way that chooses to relive the emotion using the conventional gesture used for a phone- the Icono is divided into an ear-piece and a mouth-piece. The division thus enables the user to use the phone in the way of a gesture and once the number is dialled, an animated path depicting connectivity as a pattern follows thus enabling the user to recognise acquaintances as patterns other than numbers. We need designers like Zin to relieve a lot of other creations so that we stay emotionally attached to their creativity value. More images after the jump.
