The Crazy Nokia Designs That Never Saw the Light of Day
Briefly

Nokia's Design Archive, developed by Aalto University, showcases 700 exhibits of innovative concepts, demonstrating the company's creative experimentation in mobile technology from the mid-90s to early 2000s.
Most exhibits from the mid-1990s to early 2000s reflect a time of significant technological advancement, where designers were free to explore how devices could cater to diverse user demographics.
Anna Valtonen emphasizes the archive as "just the tip of the iceberg," hinting at the vast potential of the 20,000 total exhibits that chronicle Nokia's rich design history.
The archive features iconic designs, including the Nokia 5110, which popularized the game Snake, alongside whimsical concepts like a Winnie the Pooh-shaped phone.
