Chute Smartphone - helping the Earth go green one phone at a time

Posted in Design/Concept by Alex Sydell on February 15th, 2008

Chute SmartphoneThe Chute isn’t just a regular cell phone. It’s natural. It’s organic. It’s made out of… bamboo?

That’s right, designer Michael Laut has created this concept smartphone to convey a more relaxed and natural feeling. He believes that people would be much happier interacting with a more natural-looking phone, hence his choice of materials, ergonomic proportions, and even the on-screen display.

All of this while also using less plastic and more of a renewable resource. We say thumbs up and hope some phone manufacturer will pick up this design. Another picture after the jump.
