Alessi and Iida gadget designs
It’s a phone walking a dog — cute! In case you can’t tell, the cellphone is crafted to the profile of a human face, with a little nose and sweet googly eyes; check out the images in the gallery below to see it playing with its other accessories — like going fishing, or tying its cat to a tree. To make gadgets fun-friendly is not exactly a new idea, but I’m certain people from the Tamigochi era will find a place in their hearts for this. Stefano Giovannoni, Marcel Wanders and Patricia Urquiola worked with Italian design company Alessi and Japanese product manufacturer Iida to put this collection together, which was presented at Designtide Tokyo 2010.
