Jacob Jensen Design Enters the Cordless Market

Jacob Jensen Design has been and continues to be a byword among industrial design, the studio being at the forefront of Scandinavian design for nearly half a century. Its founder Jacob Jensen changed the way everyday objects could be experienced, imbuing radios, appliances, household objects–even an ordinary bowl–with quiet and understated beauty. His over 20-year partnership with Bang & Olufsen created some of the most distinctive audio devices ever made, without sacrificing functionality or sound quality.
In the spirit of Jensen’s past projects, Jacob Jensen Design–in partnership with Danish communications and electronics company Bell Xpress–unveiled the Jacob Jensen Telephone 6. Using DECT, the latest development in cordless telephone technology, the Telephone 6 marries the sleek, simple lines Jensen is known for with crisp sound quality in both the transmitter and receiver. Its speaker phone function features a similarly superb microphone and receiver.
What sets the Telephone 6 apart from ordinary cordless phones is its revolutionary design. Cordless phones from past to the present have generally looked the same despite the advances in technology. The Telephone 6 almost completely breaks from the paradigm of what we think a cordless telephone should look like, and in its place gives us a glimpse of the future of communication. Its almost avant-garde–but surprisingly efficient–wall-mounted design incorporates the base station and unobtrusively blends with the interiors of one’s home.
Having such a piece of exceptional design in one’s home doesn’t require emptying one’s bank account. Its award-winning design (recognized for its outstanding design by The Plus X Awards) is well worth the price, surprisingly reasonable for such an exclusive and exceptional product.
Jacob Jensen’s designs are modern classics; many of his products are still in demand on the market because of their timeless designs, even 50 years after they were first produced. It certainly appears that this Telephone 6 is headed along those lines, too–even more reason to order one for your own home.
