Minimalist TV Controllers

The NDS Remote Control is Conveniently Simplified

Even with all of the technological advancements currently at hand, most (if not all) still require remote controls to use them; thankfully, the NDS Remote Control hopes to simplify this need. Instead of using a gazillion different remotes or struggling to use a universal remote, you can use the NDS Remote Control for an easier solution.

Created for the French telecom company SFR Evolution, the NDS Remote Control boasts a reduced number of buttons that operate in two segments: one part manages the main functions of the TV user interface, such as changing the channel, while the other buttons provide shortcuts to dedicated functions. The two areas are separated by shape, material and color.
