The 'Flash Back' device concept is a multifunctional solution designed for desktops, workstations or nightstands to provide a person with access to a range of features in a unified way. The sculptural device functions as a digital photo frame where one or more photos can be cycled through, which are sourced from the user's smartphone. This acts as a way to bring captured photos to life and prevent them from being forgotten about on the device.
The 'Flash Back' device concept is the design work of Yangwoo Choi and Hanyoung Lee, and also features a pen holder and small storage space in the base. This acts as the perfect spot to stow small essentials throughout the day or when heading to bed.
