ZIRICOTE ONE OFF
Utilising the handmade skills of master craftsmen, HULGER have produced their first ever wooden PIP*PHONE. Fashioned from the distinctively grained African hardwood Ziricote, long used for decorative objects, the phone blends innovation with tradition.
The Ziricote* comes in it own wooden box and is accompanied by a pot of wax, for treatment. Like all our favourite things, this phone is designed to wear in not wear out.
A Bluetooth enabled model of the PIP*PHONE, the Ziricote* can be linked to all mobile and VOIP devices. At ease on the move, in the home or at work, this phone had been made to labour.
The Ziricote*PHONE is currently one of a kind, unavailable anywhere else in the world, available for £2000.00 from the Digital Wellbeing Showroom where it will be on display as part of the Into the Woods exhibition or direct from HULGER.

[...] HULGER, bekannt als Hersteller von aussergewöhnlichen Telefonen, hat sich mit dem “PIP*PHONE” ein wirklich exklusives Modell ins Sortiment kreiert. Dieses knapp 3000 Euro teuere Telefon ist handgefertigt und aus dem amerikanischen Tropenholz Ziricote hergestellt. Das gleiche Holz wird auch vorzugsweise für Klanghölzer im Musikinstrumentenbau eingesetzt und bedarf einer intensive Pflege. Aus diesem Grund hat HULGER wohlwissentlich dem “PIP*PHONE” eine Dose Wachs beigelegt. Via Bluetooth lässt sich das Telefon mit allen Mobiltelefonen verbinden oder als VoIP-Gerät benutzen. hulger.org [...]

Excellent! I hope those Ziricote was sustainably forested… If it’s a one-off I suppose it’s not that important… but now I want to have one too!

[...] Как вы думаете – можно ли сделать современный мобильный телефон из дерева? Это кажется невероятным, но такой телефон уже появился. Компания Hulger представила телефон сделанный из высококачественного африканского дерева кордиа (Cordia dodecandra – для биологов), использующегося обычно для декоративных объектов. Телефон снабжен Bluetooth для связи с другими устройствами. Для постоянного ухода за ценной породой дерева в комплекте представлена баночка с воском. Цена данного весьма стильного телефона конечно не бюджетная – $2000, но ценители, безусловно, оценят его. [...]

[...] Depois de revolucionar o mercado de celulares com o lançamento de uma coleção de telefones de gancho para serem acoplados aos móveis, a Hulger (que num passado não muito distante já se chamou Pokia) volta à carga com o Ziricote Phone, o primeiro PIP Phone feito inteiramente de madeira – que ainda por cima vem com um pote de cera para manter a sua superfície sempre lustrosa e limpa. O aparelho é feito de Ziricote, uma árvore típica do sul do continente africano, cuja madeira é utilizada para a confecção de objetos decorativos. Um dos modelos vem equipado com a tecnologia bluetooth, o que permite que o telefone se conecte a qualquer celular ou VOIP. Por enquanto, o Ziricote Phone é apenas um protótipo, mas pode ser comprado no Digital Wellbeing Showroom, na mostra Into the Woods ou na própria Hulger, por salgadas 2 mil libras (o equivalente a cerca de 8,5 mil reais).

That looks really very stylish, the wood is so awesome. But 3000€ for an item that also needs a lot of care? Well, I need to think about it first…
