Kinneir Dufort are perhaps one of the longest established innovation and design consultancies in Britain, founded in the seventies hey have since come up with some excellent ideas, but their latest brainchild could just be the answer to the problems inherant with mobile phones.
They didn’t set out to make a green mobile phone, put another way they looked at the a design that would make the process sustainable – simply allowing people to keep up with the latest technology by allowing present day hardware to be upgraded. Which when you think about it, is brilliant, why are we always having to throw away stuff to replace it with something else. Well their latest design for a mobile phone the ‘Revive’ does just that. Its simple to use and the components can be changed almost immediatley.
It’s a brilliant concept and challenge to allow present day products to keep up with the future. Do we really need to keep changing the outside so often? Plus, they have provided a membership scheme which rewards the user for keeping the mobile for longer…strikes me as this is the way to go.
