Aesir Copenhagen Luxury Phone by Yves Behar

Image

The luxury phone brand Aesir Copenhagen has revealed a stunning new handset designed by Yves Behar.  In the age of do-it-all smart phone, the +YvesBehar by Aesir Copenhagen might seem a bit one-dimensional at first glance.  From beginning to end, it is a phone– no camera or GPS, no Gmail or Angry Birds, just a device that provides stunning clarity and tactility in a luxury class design.

Image

The Yves Behar Aesir Copenhagen phone is available in either 18 carat yellow gold or a fine stainless steel with a ceramic top.  A timeless phone will require a timeless sum, however, as the 18 carat gold version will retail at nearly $59,000 USD.

NoteSlate eSketcher

The NoteSlate eSketcher is not a tablet.  It doesn’t run a fancy OS, it doesn’t have a digital camera or two, it doesn’t run games and it won’t handle video conferencing.  The NoteSlate eSketcher is a good old fashioned notepad on steroids.  The eSketcher uses a stylus input to record your hand-written notes and doodles with an e-ink style display.  Your notes can then be sent to a computer or other storage device or held on the eSketcher’s internal memory.  You can use it repeatedly without much toll on the battery, as the eSketcher will last for nearly 180 hours per charge.  For students, illustrators, list-writers and more, the eSketcher is a phenomenal little concept.

Numero 1 Watch by Oriol Llahona

Image

Spanish designer Oriol Llahona has revealed a new watch concept he calls Numero 1 watch, a bold-faced take on classical timekeeping.  The Numero 1 features a vintage-style leather band that wraps around an enlarged rectangle case.  Inside the case, a digital or analog display rests above a black or white background, both styled in a most minimal fashion.  That offset, over-sized case makes this standard design so stylish, yielding a modernist appeal that we’d love to see on our own wrist.
