Punkt MP02 Phone — MINIMAL/LIST

Jasper Morrison has updated his design for the Punkt phone in the form of the MP02, a mobile phone which focussed a lot on form but with very minimal function. What’s interesting with this new iteration is that it features 4G LTE and hotspot capabilities. These can’t be used from the phone itself, but, rather for tethering a second phone or tablet. That would seem a bit strange on the surface, but seems like a perfect use case for travel. Simply buy a foreign pay-as-you-go SIM card on arrival in a foreign country, use the Punkt phone for local calls and tether your smartphone (which is likely locked to your domestic network) or tablet for web, maps etc.
