Knives of future past

As an exercise, this is quite a fascinating one. Bringing an old-world charm to a product, but without compromising on its futuristic appeal. Like imagine a rotating dial-phone type keypad on a smartphone screen (just a reference). The IP Knife is futuristic, yet almost paleolithic too. Taking inspiration from the chiseled appearance of stone-age tools, the IP Knife brings that raw geometry to a clean design, creating something that’s minimal to look at, but filled with meaning!

Designer: Klivisson Campelo
