The conceptual Philips Smooth clothing iron is a futuristic take on the classic garment care device that will come as welcome news to those who are seeking a more efficient way to keep the unit in their living space. Boasting an oval design over the traditional triangular aesthetic, the iron allows the cord to be seamlessly wrapped around the handle when not in use. The accompanying stand fits overtop of the unit when not in use to make it a compact piece of equipment to store in a cupboard, closet or drawer without creating an unsightly scene.
