The "Softphone" concept phone from designer Quian Jiang utilizes a series of discs with electronically wired cotton fabric stretched in between. The benefit to a phone like this would be that one could fold up the keyboard to save space while the bulk of the electronics are housed inside a tiny clip made out of silica—which would also be soft. Another potential benefit is that the phone could be squeezed to engage actions like ending a call.
And since the phone is so squeezably soft, you can rest assured in the knowledge that if you were caught in a code red situation with no toilet paper in sight, you always have a backup option. As mentioned, the Softphone is a concept device at the moment, and while a pliable phone is certainly a viable idea, my guess is that this particular version will not be on store shelves anytime soon.

This Toaster Phone concept by Brazilian designer Renata Quintela is simple, cute, and it will probably make you look like a surrealist moron while using it, which is always a plus. We like the toaster charger and the fact that it comes with two sets, which we want to believe will communicate with each other, allowing Jason and Benny to play Loafman and his sidekick Buttermelter.
