A Cool-culator!

Everything about the Calculator 2.0 by Nikhil Kapoor is amazing. The product is just mesmerising to look at, and it comes with an incredibly sleek design that even makes use of a touch bar below the screen (clever, eh?). The entire product has a monochrome vibe to it with jet black keys and screen with just the ‘=’ key in white, really punctuating the design in a beautiful way.

The Calculator 2.0 was featured on Yanko Design in 2014, but it’s latest development (and a seriously brilliant one) is the packaging. The Calculator comes fitted inside a white box with three square cutouts that align perfectly with the 2, 0 and the decimal keys. This itself becomes the branding for the box containing the Calculator “2.0”. Just some really smart designing!
