Phone design chiselled from maple

A wonder of wood

Maple Phone Concept 0

7 August 2008 12:00 GMT / By Katie Scott

The warmest of wood versus the sleekness of steel, or the practicality of plastic...

This latest phone concept from designers Hyun Jin Yoon & Eun Hak Lee combines modern phone technology with carpentry - that's age old pastime - in a phone carved from a tree.

The camera phone concept uses a thin wooden film to cover touch sensitive buttons that light up just below the surface.

The design measures 4.5x10.4x9.8 cm and slides open for more multi-media applications.
