Leica À la carte – Choose All Your Ideal Custom Camera Needs

by Jay Garrett on August 16, 2009

500x_leica_a_la_carteLeica camera’s are great – but not cheap.

It would be awful to pay out a hefty wad of cash only to be thinking later on: I wish that this camera had………

Now, thanks to Leica’s a la carte ordering system you can chose practically everything you need on your next Leica.

Opt for any Leica MP or M7 other than the standard model, and choose the things you want from the modular component system in terms of style, functionality, and practicality.

Options include: lens cap colour, leather trim,  viewfinder frame-lines, controls, personalised engraving and goes on to offer you over 4000 combinations.

Thankfully, the Configurator lets you see and test out your ideas before turning them into expensive reality.

This must be the easiest way to get a custom-made quality camera.

Have a go over at Lieca’s a la carte menu :)

Leather and Felt Phone – The Feutrefon by Matthias Pugin

by Jay Garrett on July 7, 2009

feutrefon-feltphone-montageThis is the rather groovy Feutrefon concept phone designed by Matthias Pugin.

Pugin came up with a stylish phone that removes the ugly joints to present your eyeballs with a sleek mobile phone that’s constructed primarily from leather and felt – hence the name: “Feltphone” or “FeutrePhone”.

I’m not sure if there are any other production devices or concepts like this but anything other than a lump of plastic in your hand has got to be good.

When you unfold the phone it goes flat without any noticeable joint between her and lower sections.

The fabric phone is comprised of two main electronic parts, the display and the electronic module that contains the keypad, the battery and the SIM slot.

These two bits are then embedded between a laser-cut felt and a leather cover, while Velcro holds the two parts together.

The keys of the Feltphone shine through the felt, giving it a real funky look – I hope this becomes a reality.
