Colombo Two cordless phone

Tej Chauhan / ChauhanStudio

£40

You'd expect a former senior industrial designer at Nokia to know a thing or two about good phone design and if ChauhanStudio's Colombo range is anything to go by, Tej Chauhan certainly does. The ergonomic shape of the Colombo Two cordless phone is instantly appealing in a retro futuristic kind of way. But more than a mere aesthetic pleasantry, ChauhanStudio's intention is to re-establish the classic receiver relationship between earpiece and mouthpiece in a way that prioritises comfort. Available in black, white and 'special orange' it's nice to see that good design is being applied to the humble home phone and not just the mobile market.
