SteamPunk Phone

Steampunk inspired user-centered mobile phone concept for O2. It has no keyboard and no screen. To use the phone, a paper punchcard with binary encoded information must be inserted. The concept reflects the users’ frustration with bloated interfaces, and the desire to be more in touch with the hardware.
Winner of ‘Most Mutated Design’.

    Opens up a new market in card collecting.  Puts a new spin on getting someone’s number.  Form over function is the future as we approach the tech singularity.
