Schulze & Webb are working with Nokia to develop experimental prototypes to explore personalisation in mobile phones.

There are three overlapping strands in the project: craft, hacking and mass customisation. Craft is broadly about working with people who have specialist skills in the areas of making; by hacking we are referring to combining the phone with other objects or interfering with the phone functionality; mass customisation refers to processes and materials available to small or local manufacture and appropriate to short run production.

S&W is working with specialists to produce material explorations, and posting the findings on this project blog. Have comments or feedback? Let us know.

This project blog discusses our work. S&W was commissioned by Chris Heathcote of Nokia's Insight Foresight Group. All work remains the property of Nokia and permission is needed for any reproduction.
