After the success of the iconic plastic P*Phone, Hulger is releasing a series of limited edition designs in collaboration with other designers. From the bejeweled Shibuya (its over the top but I want one) to soft luxurious calfskin (the Dashiell was created with luxury craftsman Bill Amberg) to exotic African Hardwood (the Ziricote is a stunning one off) -- what won't the designers at Hulger think of next?
Instead of desperately calculating when you can get your next free handset upgrade, if you are a Hulger owner, you love your phone and won't give it up for anything. Mixing bluetooth with luxury finishes such as leather and wood, Hulger phones are functional collector's items --beautiful objects that are meant not to be worn in, not worn out.
