Beautiful Swooping Landline Phone Is Sadly Foredoomed
If Sebastien Sauvage had designed this in the 1980s, he's be a very rich man
Hands up if you still use a landline telephone. No? Nobody? Ah, there, I see a hand. Well, sir, this post is for you. It’s about the Eclipse, a cordless DECT telephone that looks like a piece of sculpture.
In fact, it was inspired by the old 1970s Sculptura, a rotary dial phone which swooped from base to receiver with a similar looping curve. Unlike the Sculptura, the Eclipse is all cordless, and comes with push-buttons and a screen embedded into its inner side.
When not in use (which is — let’s be honest — most of the time) the Eclipse sits around looking pretty, a toroidal ornament that looks as if it is sinking into your tabletop. If you, like the gentleman with his hand raised (you can put it down now–we’re nearly done) are forced to use a landline telephone, then at least this one is good-looking enough not to embarrass you. Or at least it would be, if the designer Sebastien Sauvage could get anyone to manufacture it. Given that nobody buys them anymore, though, this is likely to remain a concept.
