Mac Funamizu is a household name at Trend Hunter for his mind-boggling designs, and this ‘Glassy Glassy’ [translucent mobile phone concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clearcam) is no exception.

The double layers of glass shield an incredibly sleek and futuristic mobile phone design. There are two ‘Glassy Glassy’ concepts, a [glass mobile phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-glass1) and a clock that can stand on its own for desktop use.

Mac Funamizu has his pulse firmly on the vein of future design, and I hope his innovative work comes into fruition.
