Hulger will bust out with two new super-limited edition “museum” phones at the Milan Salone del Mobile 2007 . The Astor (pictured above) and Sophia (after the break) are Bluetooth enabled phones custom designed for Spazio Rossana Orlandi – one of Milan’s premier design showrooms – and will be showcased there prior to the Milan Salone del Mobile 2007.

The classic phone designs “Both pay homage to the 1920’s and 1930’s, a rich era in our cultural history when the arts embraced elegance, opulence and the ultra modern,” and will only made in a limited production run of 100 units – of which only 10 will be available at Salone. That should give you an idea of the pricetag for these phones.

And, should you find that you need to relieve your conscience of some ultra-expensive buyer’s remorse, Hulger will be setting up “confessional” booths for, well, for confessing your luxurious sin. Thanks all the same, but we’ll pass on the confessionals – we just want the Astor.
