Maple phone with less plastic

We already saw Green PCs and even hard drives going green. Now cellphones are also joining the green revolution. Hyun Jin Yoon and Eun Hak Lee are the two designers behind this Maple phone.

Maple Phone is made of a thin layer of wood with touch sensitive buttons that light up through the housing when you touch the phone.

The cell phone measures 4.5 x 10.4 x 9.8 cm and is a slider with functions like calling, texting, MP3 player and digital camera. It provides basic cell phone functionalities in a cool and unique handset inspiring “special emotion” with its soft feel and a natural look.
