Wild & Wolf 1950 SkandiPhone – £59

The ScandiPhone is based on the unique upright phone that was introduced in Europe in the mid 1950s. Smaller and lighter than anything available at the time, its unusual one piece design was a fine example of form and function in harmony. The push button version was introduced in 1967. In 1973 the Phone was selected to be part of the New York Museum of Modern Art’s Collection, in recognition of its significance as a piece of good design in the 20th Century.

Viva Fabric Multi Coloured Telephone – £100

This unique phone is in perfect working order.  As all the products are re-cycled they will endeavour to reproduce the style as close to the original as possible – although slight variations might occur. All products are individual, different fabrics will be used, so no two are the same. Products are layered with bright, cotton fabrics – layers of material create a decoupage effect. Multi- coloured cottons, or black and white, the effect is unique and unusual. They are finished with a ‘wipeable’ layer, and a final varnish, making them hard wearing and durable.

Trimphone by Wild & Wolf – £34.99

The sharp lines, edges and unusual angular shapes of the Wild and Wolf Trim Phone lend the design a high energy feel, which is accentuated further by choice of bright colour. If you’re looking for something that little bit different for home or work, this phone would certainly make a most exciting office telephone! The handset and base unit are joined by the classic coiled lead, which is also finished in the same colour. Push-button dialling replaces the original twist-to-dial mechanism, and a redial button. Available in various colours including red, green and turquoise. Buy from www.totally-funky.com
