The MagicBox Torque DECT with Answering Machine aims to redress the balance between technology, contemporary interior design and the consumer. The vast majority of domestic telephones appear to have been designed for the office. Predominantly silver and grey, they have little empathy with the home environment or female decision-makers. Torque looks to the aspirations and desires of women, and delivers a unique, glossy solution that consumers crave. The sculptural form of the handset twists into the curve of the hand, providing superb ergonomics juxtaposed with a simple flat touch screen face that comes to life when in use. The high gloss finish of the handset continues onto the elegant dish base station. The handset neatly drops into a charging imprint on the dish's surface. Unique circular contacts offer the user flexibilty to sit the telephone either way round.
