Yves Behar has his own philosophy on mobile communication, one that is focused on longevity and uniquity in a world of disposable plastic. As the iPhone is replaced annually by a more advanced product, as two-year mobile contracts mandate mobile replacement, the +YvesBehar by Aesir Copenhagen is a lasting, luxurious item of timeless-yet-basic utility. Think of the world of luxury watches, where skilled craftsmen forge small-scale feats of engineering that are worn on the wrist for decades. Behar’s phone is to have the same value, a point of permanence in the pockets of those who desire only simplicity and style. The Yves Behar Aesir Copenhagen phone is available in either 18 carat yellow gold or a fine stainless steel with a ceramic top. A timeless phone will require a timeless sum, however, as the 18 carat gold version will retail at nearly $59,000 USD. While we respect Behar’s inspiration here, we might just stick to the do-it-all disposable route at least until we’ve made our first million. [via acquire]
