What is this passion for crystals all about anyway and where does it come from? They’re almost everywhere: from jewellery, clothes, footwear, to gadgets and all kinds of accessories. They’re invading any space they can reach to, alright, and people seem to just love it. In my childhood’s fairytales, whoever possessed some sacred ancient crystal could immediately take over its power and make use of it according to his wish. Therefore, they were the synonym for welfare and luxury.

But nowadays, things have changed: crystals are so common that they do not make the same impression as they did before. Nevertheless, seeing such a crystal phone might leave you speechless.

It’s true, crystal phones have been the talk of the design world over the past years, but they usually feature a small crystal piece. That’s why the Quartz Tele Concept could be considered the extreme version of such a gadget, as the device uses large quartz crystals instead of the traditional button pad. Each quartz replaces a specific number on a dial pad and they are all bright and shiny colored. Under each crystal there is an embedded LED and pressing each crystal illuminates it like a Christmas tree. They all sit on a base with a sharp LED screen that displays information every user needs, such as incoming calls, dates and contacts.



The designer of the concept is Tao Ma, a name that should sound familiar, as he created the Bracelet phone also, another innovative device that shows us how phones will look like in the future. The Quartz Tele Concept isn’t available on the market, but it sure gives us a hint on how technology will develop in the next couple of years.
