'earos' by robert potter 'design for all' competition shortlisted revealed

‘earos’

‘earos’ by robert potter from canada is one of the 240 shortlisted entries from more than 5100 participants in our recent designboom competition ‘design for all‘ in collaboration with seoul design fair 2010.

designer’s own words: ‘earos is a padded cushion that attaches to mobile phones, creating a soft, luxurious support for the ear. its simple but versatile fastener allows it to connect to most phone models, and rotates on two axes so that the unit can be quickly repositioned when not in use. the elegant, ergonomic design and soft, synthetic suede material bring new joy to a universal human ritual – the telephone conversation.’
