Miniature Design Classics – Iconic Phone Collection
Inspired by my love for famous design and my recent journey into wood carving, I have made 3 miniature models of the most Iconic phones in the history of design.
The first Red Telephone Box – Sir Giles Gilbert Scott (1935)
Model 500 rotary phone – Henry Dreyfuss (1949)
First commercial mobile phone – Motorola dynatac 8000x – Martin copper for Motorola (1983)
The masters for each model were predominantly hand carved from a block of wood and tiny details were added via laser cuts and plasticine. Each model is cast in resin then painted and finished by hand. I have put an incredible amount of time, effort and focus into every individual model which makes each one unique.
I am looking to continue carving other miniature design classics making this original set that little bit more special.
