iPhone “Brutal”, a new rigid and colorful approach

After the Nintendo Switch from a parallel universe, designer Braz de Pina returns to our pages with the iPhone Brutal, which, as its name suggests, borrows its look from the Brutalist architectural movement, namely imposing geometric forms and a functional aesthetic. Straight lines and sharp angles, then, but also very eye-catching primary colors—red, yellow, or blue—for a flip phone with a foldable screen reminiscent of the Galaxy Z Flip. We also note a small screen next to the triple camera, cute as can be but far from being as functional as if it occupied more available space. "A study of reduction, structure, and deliberate geometry," is how the designer describes his concept, also inspired by Japanese industrialism: rectilinear, functional, and colorful.
