A tribute to Henry Dreyfuss, the Crosley Wall Phone will add just the right amount of retro feel to your decor. Dreyfuss, a brilliant industrial designer, worked with Bell Telephone Laboratories designing telephones that would suit a variety of home environments. Well-known for the 302 Desk Phone, he later shifted his design efforts to include this wall unit that allowed consumers to walk with the phone while cradling it on their shoulder. This phone's unified and balanced form replaced the awkward shapes of earlier models. In fact, Dreyfuss actually used measurements from over 2,000 faces to determine the average distance between the mouth and ear! The Crosley Wall Phone features the nostalgic rotary dial but actually functions with push-button technology, so you won't have to wait for that rotary dial to make its slow rotation.
