‘Back in the late 50s/early 60s this upright Swedish phone was all the rage amongst style-conscious chatterboxes. And now its back in the curvaceous shape of this fully-functioning push-button replica. Simply plug it into a standard phone socket and Svens your uncle!

Talking about one-piece design, the landmark ScandiPhone is just begging to be grabbed and yelled into. Failing that, simply admire its sexy lines and cast your mind back to an era when Grace Kelly and Cary Grant ruled the world. With their memory-jogging geek-chic styling, Retro Telephones laugh in the fascias of modern slimline phones. They also look seriously cool in any scenario, in a dial-i-for-irony kind of way.

Best of all you can enjoy a good old chinwag without sullying your surfaces with some flimsy modern pretender. It is good to talk; it is even better doing it on a Retro Telephone.’
