The Nexus is your connection point between work and play, that vital link to the office, friends or family without compromising your active, on the go lifestyle. So you are ready for that big call, anytime.
This cellphone was designed for surfers, runners and other people who enjoy being active but still need to stay in contact. Designing a cellphone which would fit in with these activities that we all love and need led to exploring ways that it could be attached to the body so that it could be easily accessed without being a hindrance.
Exploration into its form and the way it would be used through ergonomic testing, modeling and sketching was vital in the resolution.
It was modeled in clay, then cibatool from which moulds were made in plaster and silicon – to emulate the manufacturing process. The vacuum formed plastic shells were painted and then co-molded with the silicon loop and resin wrist band.
Spaces for the buttons and screen were laser cut. The buttons were rapid prototyped, and the screen vacuum formed from acrylic.
