From Wild & Wolf, a UK firm, comes the reproduction of a classic 50's phone. Sure it's not wireless and doesn't have call display or a touch screen, but it will work work without batteries or the power is out. Everyone needs a backup and this is the one to get. Bonus if you have a 50's era telephone table - you know it belongs there or even in your office or den.

The ScandiPhone is based on the unique upright phone that was introduced in Europe in the mid 1950s (The Ericophone). Smaller and lighter than anything available at the time, its unusual one piece design was a fine example of form and function in harmony. The push button version was introduced in 1967. In 1973 the Phone was selected to be part of the New York Museum of Modern Art’s Collection, in recognition of its significance as a piece of good design in the 20th Century.

It has been updated for the times and has redial button, bell on/off and push button dialing.Simply plug it into the wall jack and it works - no configuration required. Comes in a great box that makes it easy to gift wrap too.
