The Aesir Copenghagen cellphone is definitely not your typical mobile device. A stunningly elegant phone, it moves away from the hi-tech look that smartphones around the world seem to be adopting. Instead, it focuses on being an everyday accessory.
Designed by Yves Behar, the Aesir Copenghagen cellphone is available in two versions: gold and steel. With a basket-weaved design, the phone's overall aesthetic is rather simple, yet still extremely luxurious.
Exorbitantly priced, the Aesir Copenghagen cellphone is available at two different price points. The stainless steel version costs 7,250 euros and the gold version is priced at an outstanding 42,000 euros--it is plated in 18 karat gold. Check out this opulent piece in the gallery.
