When Monohm CEO George Arriola approached Box Clever as a design partner for their new mobile device, the challenge was simple, yet complex - what does the post-smart phone era look like? What is an heirloom mobile device? We responded with the design for Runcible, a beautiful circular device. The team wanted to break the black rectangle mold and introduce an organic and natural shape that also brings a unique, intuitive UI to the mobile handset. Adding natural wood and materials heightens the sense of holding a treasured keepsake that can grow and evolve as time goes on. Runcible is user and developer friendly, leveraging Mozilla’s Open Web platform.

With the team at Boxclever I was responsible for form and detail development on this program.  My role was to explore features, details and materials as well as refinement to the overall form and part break treatment. I was also involved in a packaging and accessory phase for the Runcible concept- to be realeased shortly.
