The conceptual 'ICARUS' smartphone is a device designed by Apostol Tnokovski that looks to shake up the technology market with a design that is high-end and focused on an artistic aesthetic.
The smartphone features a sculpted design that draws inspiration from art deco, which also enables it to be held easily in the hand during use without the need for a case. This encourages users to feel more confident about the devices they use on a daily basis and also let them appreciate the actual design of them without covering them up with a case that can obscure the original aesthetic.
The conceptual 'ICARUS' smartphone was described by the designer who said, "I wanted to design a smartphone that will be unique and introduce a completely new and fresh style, different from the existing models. A phone that will have a sculptural shape and still have my unique designer viewpoint and style."
