# Bowed Concept Cellphones The Smartphone TWO is Super Tactile With its Graceful Crescent Shape By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-06-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartphone-two References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2012/06/07/a-phone-for-happy-hands/) & [promotedesign.it](http://www.promotedesign.it/designers.php?designer=0000000827) The sleek and rigid versus the soft and curvaceous are a pair of often conflicting technology design aesthetics that are constantly going in and out of style. In this case, the Smartphone TWO breaks from the stiffness of the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-brutal) and many Android handsets to provide its user with a more organic shape. The bowed form of this [concept mobile phone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-phone-concept) is subtle and seductive. Its gentle contours would hug your cheek and be embraced by the palm of your hand. If placed in a pocket, the device already conforms to the curves of the body and won't leave you with a rectangular-shaped projection visible behind the fabric of your clothes. Roberto Corazza's Smartphone TWO flaunts smooth rounded edges and the shallow arc of the generous touchscreen is actually more ergonomic than its contemporaries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Soft Tech Design:** Designing technology with soft and curvaceous aesthetics to provide more organic shapes and increase ergonomics. - **Bowed Form Factor:** Exploring the use of subtle and seductive bowed form factor in conceptual mobile phone design. - **Tactile Smartphones:** Developing smartphones with tactile features and shapes for better user experience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** Incorporating soft and curvaceous aesthetics in the design of consumer electronics products. - **Mobile Phone Manufacturing:** Consideration of bowed form factors and tactile designs in the production of mobile phone devices. - **Industrial Design:** Exploration of soft tech design and ergonomic features to revolutionize industrial product design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Posh Pill-Shaped Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nokia-infinity-pro.md) - [Vibrant Sharp-Edged Phones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-brutal.md) - [Simplistic Folding Clamshell Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/01-phone.md) - [Dual-Display Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-vision.md) - [Industrial Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braun-what-if-phone.md) - [Hourglass-Shaped Phone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meti.md) - [Wacky Design Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playful-phone-experimentation.md) - [Ultra-Slim Folding Smartphone Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-air-concept.md) - [Rotating Button Panel Smartphones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-one.md)
