On the cutting edge of design and technology, Mac Funamizu has developed the original concept for this Nagisa mobile handset.
The handset's oval shape and wrap-around screen gives the impression of a liquid display, complete with a meniscus and an undulating keypad. The Nagisa mobile phone is smoothly sculpted with a white lacquered gloss that reflects light off of its streamlined surface. Translating to "beach" in Japanese, "Nagisa" embodies an oceanic mold offering a sea of communicative and technological possibilities.
