Homephone

Marc Schömann brings us his homephone concept—a sleek, almost totemic piece of telephony porn.

The calling method is simple: just rotate each numbered vertebrae to the corresponding digit of the number you’re calling, then when you are done, twist the top to connect.

Here’s hoping for the daruma otoshi version. Or the Tower of Pisa model.

    this one is not practical. I bought the alessi phone as a present (for me :D ) for christmas, and its shape is beautiful, not ambiguous

    That’s a really interesting approach to interactive design. Rotation brings back a hint of the old school phones that required spin dialing. It would be nice having these installed in a workplace.
