Camera Phones Plaza

Usually, when cell phone designers try to give their devices a silhouette (therefore, when trying to establish the design), they get their inspiration from all sorts of unusual places that regular people would never think about. In the given context, they frequently use the natural environment to help their imagination to give its best.

This is how you, readers of gadgets blogs, have the chance to see and sometimes even to experience spectacular technological innovations. Because, let’s face it, if it weren’t for the winged creatures, we wouldn’t have airplanes today or all sorts of vehicles that are able to fly.



The concept device I decided to talk about in this article is a futuristic home phone that amazes everyone with its simplicity and with the fact that there is no chance for someone to guess what it is by only looking at it. Designed by Anton Webb, the inspiration for this concept was taken from the Hosta Plant.



And because I’m not one of those people who have strong knowledge in the botany area, I had to google the term in order to understand the resemblance between the Hosta Plant and the… Hosta Phone. The plant “is a genus of about 23-45 species of lily-like plants native to northeast Asia” ( Wikipedia).

The Non Literal Phone (‘cause this is the concept’s real name) is very similar to the Hosta and its fundamental premise is the importance of adding the beauty typical of a sculpture to mundane device. A disappointing aspect of this cordless phone is that we lack the technical information about it, so we’ll have to content ourselves with the pictures only.
