You have designed your home with Tracy Island / James Bond in mind but you cant find a telephone to compliment the scheme. Your interior is peppered with Castiglione's lamps (such as Arco - featured in Diamonds are Forever, The Italian Job etc), Eames chairs, Robin Day sofas. Fear not!
You will be delighted to see the new Colombo range Two phone designed by Chauhan studio. It has just won the prestigious iF Design Award 2009. The International Forum Design has existed since 1953 as an enduring, prestigious trademark for outstanding design.
The "Two phone" designed by the Chauhan Studio is a tribute to the space age designer Joe Colombo (1930-1971) who designed many iconic pieces including the Universale chair (which was the first chair to be moulded from a single material), the Alonger lamp and of course the Bobby trolley. His trademark was to design for "the environment of the future". The Colombo range Two phone seeks to re-establish the lost relationship between earpiece and mouthpiece on modern telephones. The Two phone is currently available in Selfridges and will be appearing in more retailers in March.
We can tell you it feels as good as it looks and works brilliantly with a 1970's interior – we love it!
