Punkt Group, is a rare name for such a design company. They have few line of products but I should say they are just beautiful. As Steve Jobs re imagined Ipod & Ipad, PG is doing to things which we use in day today life. They add colors & solve some of the usability issues, to boring things otherwise.
The best of all they got is their cordless phone. It sits on a magnetic cradle which hold it and also let the receiver charge. Now lot of companies designed cordless phone but what makes this different is because it solves a problem when the base unit is on the wall, vertical, upside down or slanting. In any position you can imagine, once the receiver comes close to base unit, it just clicks on the magnet and hold it back.
I remember we had a base unit on the wall and every time somebody who are not used to it place the receiver on the base unit, it slides down and fall down. And Punkt solved it beautifully. Another product they re-imagined is an alarm clock. Its so cute to look at now. Its brightens your morning, and also stands very thin and tall to view the time. Now you don't need to sleep with your phone as alarm. PG also came up with an extension socket which reduces wire clutter, which is also a clean design. Punkt is from UK, so people in north america will have to get them shipped, but its worth every bit of it.
