We don’t know if you can call these mangled handsets artistic, but they sure are different. Mehmet Erkök, industrial design lecturer at Ä°stanbul Teknik Ãœniversitesi’s Department of Industrial Product Design, likes to customize these Nokia mobile phones in his spare time. Most people customize their cell phones with ringtones and wallpapers, maybe the occasional case mod, but Erkök takes things to a whole new level. He modifies his phone’s casing, menu organization (moving popular icons higher in the menu hierarchy), and even removes buttons and keys (sometimes replacing them with his own).
Call it “art” if you want. We’ll call it “unique.”
