Winners of Fujitsu Mobile Phone Design Award 2009
Fujitsu announced the winners of design competition, Fujitsu Mobile Phone Design Award 2009. The contest started in May this year, its goal was to choose the best innovative ideas in the design of mobile phones. In June and July, they have received about 2000 applications, of which 24 winners were selected: one grand prize, two second prizes, six special jury prizes and 15 honorary awards. The awards were presented October 6th at CEATEC JAPAN 2009 exhibition at the Fujitsu booth.
Worth to elaborate on the winner: Grand Prize was a concept phone called Gesture. It is easy to understand from the title, the main way to control the apparatus is gestures. Looks model, incidentally, is not too futuristic: it is an ordinary thin rectangular phone with touch screen in the entire front panel. Perhaps, Fujitsu will take note and realizes this concept.
Second prize was awarded two concept, soap and FOLD-A-PHONE. The first one focused on children and can be washed (it’s probably very important for youngest users). And the second looks like a sheet of paper and it can literally crumple to make more compact.
Among the other winners: Adjustick, Osusowa Keitai (“Sliced-up Phone”), chamelephone, F-Circle, KAORA (Tile), Amoeba Phone.
