a world where number pads are replaced by rotary dials, envisioned by CAMFRAE

CAMFRAE blends the rotary dials with the 21st century products by matching the materials and colors. as seen above, the dial of the card reader is finished in transparent plastic to complement the grey plastic casing, while the numbers and the symbols maintain the colors of the regular number pads. CAMFRAE entertains the quirky visual combination of analogue and digital design but also admits that it may not be practical at all in real life.

‘all math would be terrible! especially if you remove the number keys from the qwerty layout.’ tells CAMFRAE.
