The Ericofonen was designed by Ralf Lysell from Ericsson and patented in 1930, and produced in 1940-1941. In the 1950’s the first prototype was finaly ready. The mission of this phone was to have a nice “one-piece” design. They came in 18 colors on the US market, red and minth green being the most wanted ones. Some had a disc on the foot and you could make phone calls from them and had no ringing device (so you could not receive calls on them), and others had no disc but they had a ringing device, so they were designed to receive calls, only. Whichever their function, they were very wanted, and after just over a six-month the orders exceeded production by 500 percent. In 1969 Ericsson created keypad Ericofonen, too, so you didn’t have to deal with the disc anymore. The production ceased in 1982 after producing 2 510 000 copies.

The Ball Clock was designed by George Nelson embodying the spirit of the early ’50s. It was created in a festive evening with the collaboration of Noguchi and Fuller. This design makes clocks more appealing and there is no space for dullness in the colorful elements. Each hour is represented by one ball and there is so much simplicity in the design that time seems to be lighter, the clock seems to be floating in the air. It has 13cm diameter and functions on one battery. The original is hosted in the Collection Vitra Design Museum.
