Fai in fretta ad uccidermi… ho freddo! (1967)
0 notes
The Ericofon (1954) revolutionized the telephone industry with its one-piece design. In combining the dial and handset into a single unit, designers Gösta Thames, Ralph Lysell, and Hugo Blomberg can be credited for anticipating the evolution of today’s ordless phone and cell phone by several decades.

🔫 answer: who is The Smartest Moron of hetalia?
(i'm not even asking who is The Dumbest Genius, it's either Prussia or Germany, they will fight for the title ⚔️)
HMMM hard ask .. HARD ask…. Because I think being alive for hundreds of years grants you great time to gain knowledge about shit u like, both theoretically n practically, so I think every country could fit that description.
I want to say Veneziano? But tbh in my heart I’m feeling Sweden n Denmark, like they’ve been around since the early 1000s, they’re masters at strategy, they could live off two squares meters in the middle of the forest for two years with their extensive knowledge on plants n animals, but they cannot… take a screenshot on a phone. They just figured out how that telephone with a rotary dial works, you can’t just throw iPhone model X+11”Æ27fuckcyou give us money72 at them ….. hell, Berwald still uses the ericofon, n Matthias doesnt know how to download apps on the iPad mini Sealand got him. But you want them to create the vaccine for polio with their bare hands under a week? Ok yea now that they can do.

Summary, Week 11
The Ulm School (Hochschule für Gestaltung Ulm, if you want to be really accurate about it) operated from 1955 to 1968. In that time, the Product Design department worked with Braun to design appliances, audio and film equipment, and personal care devices (shavers, hair dryers). The designs introduced a confidence with the use of mixed materials, combination of rational geometric form with organic form, mastery of sculptural and functional form language, and exploration of how products incorporating new technology can seem familiar and easy to use. Dieter Rams, Gerd Alfred Müller, and Fritz Eichler formed the core of a design department at Braun which created a standardized approach to process and aesthetic which defined Braun's output for decades.
At the same time, new plastics and new manufacturing methods for plastics allowed designers to explore form in new ways. Designs appeared in the 1960's that were restricted not by the grain or malleability of material, but by the imagination. Designers challenged the limitations of plastic and molds by designing ever larger and more complicated objects. Plastic products began to flow into people's lives and import with them bright colors, shiny surfaces, and a sense of fun. Expanded plastic foam allowed new forms and products. Plastic was also introduced into humbler objects like food packaging, soda bottles, and plastic bags.
The cheapness and novelty of plastic made it prevalent in every aspect of life around the world in the early 1970’s. creating entirely new behaviors and patterns of consumption. Along with all of the discarded bottles and broken toys came an understanding that the Earth, though rich in resources, was and is a delicately balanced system in danger of being overcome by the sloppy way we are living on it.

This futuristic phone from the 1950s put the dial in the base of the handset, and was the first telephone to be housed in one single piece. Today, with our cell phones, we might not realize how new or revolutionary this phone was for its day!
