This is a concept phone design that might just grow on you. It takes its inspiration from the Hosta Plant, which is a quick-growing and hard-to-kill variety of house greenery. The phone’s parts fit together in a very satisfying way, and the color scheme works nicely too. The interface is simple– maybe even a little too simple. From the pictures, it seems that you dial numbers with a touchscreen interface.

Likelihood of being built: 4/10

It is definitely sleek and smooth, but this device could easily go the way of the hamburger phone. Maybe they could make it out of recyclable plant parts–or the ever-present stretched bamboo, to add extra pop.

"but how about using something other than bamboo once in a while? How about some domestically-grown, renewable soft wood?"

Bamboo is extremely durable and resistant to bacteria and disease, resists chipping and facturing from light, heat, and moisture stress.

Softwoods are structurally terrible for most things. It is highly unlikely you will ever see them used in this manner.

Solar Blind - The cost of manufacture and maintain (cleaning) such complex device will outweight the benefit (electricity it generates). It is better to put the solar on the roof.

wow, i just heard about a fabric which supposedly does the same thing as the solar storage sheets. it was at the nano-tech show at the local uni.
