Designer Kamihara Hideo has developed a new mobile phone concept inspired by the cross-cut grains of plywood. The PLY Mobile Phone Concept is a simple, stylish, slider-style mobile phone with the sectional wooden feel of layered plywood. PLY features hardware control built into the “grains” of the device, a range of cascading buttons that offer thumb-friendly control functionality. The business end of the phone is exposed with a simple slide, where the alpha-numeric keypad is hidden when at rest. While we normally tune out any mobile without a qwerty keypad, this design by Hideo has us willing to give up full-keyboard texting for such a stylish little phone.
