Chute Smartphone – helping the Earth go green one phone at a time
Posted in Design/Concept by Alex on February 15th, 2008
The 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.

very nice. As my view, it is not wood. Maybe the material is steel. just like the wood line is transferred printing on the surface.
