No headphone jack? How about no screen!

The Alo is like Mona Lisa, says Jerome Olivet. Made long ago, but still relevant today. Initially a conceptual product designed with Philippe Starck more than 20 years ago, the Alo was recently relaunched as a refined design concept for a phone.

Made for a future dominated by Siris and Alexas, the Alo phone comes without a screen and relies solely on voice communication. The phone’s body is made of a gelatinous material wrapped around an aluminum unibody, and its form designed to be placed perpetually against the ear. Devoid of a screen, the phone relies on voice input, and comes with a camera (not for selfies) that does some pretty fancy lip-reading to turn voice effectively to text. The lack of the screen enables the Alo to have such an organic, unconventional shape. My personal opinion? It looks too much like a breast implant… but that may just be neo-phobic old me! I although have to give credit to the designers for predicting 20 years ago that we would live in a world heavily dominated by AI voice assistants. That bit couldn’t be truer.

I’m a massive sucker for good packaging. I’d buy just about anything if it were packaged well. The Creatura line of beverages appeals to that side of me. And it would probably give me less of a guilt trip, knowing that the Creature series of drinks are made from the finest and purest ingredients. Not to mention, the packaging is 100% recyclable too!
