Beo Com 2 – Bang & Ofulsen Ergonomics Telephone | The Cool Gadgets

BeoCom 2 is a quality ergonomics telephone from Bang & Olufsen. It will be released this coming Christmas season in new clear colors.

It was designed using a single piece of aluminum and elegantly take the shape of a human face, it is now available in high polished crisp colors. The existing blue, black, grey, yellow and natural aluminium have been polished and thus intensified, resulting in an even more outstanding expression.

Change Management Coordinator, Carsten Leedsøe, who is responsible for coordinating production changes, knew he had to find an unconventional solution and went to the local electricians, who use crimping foil as protection of delicate surfaces, for a solution. As it turned out this was not a feasible solution, the production engineers tried out experiments with liquid latex as well. After several different attempts, they decided to go for a solution with a German lacquer supplier who supplied the production department with a protective lacquer. This lacquer protects the elegant metallic surfaces with a rubbery layer. The lacquer is also used in the car industry to avoid scratches when handling the final finish of the cars. Besides giving perfect protection to the polished BeoCom 2 tubes, this lacquer is easy to handle and peel off after the milling.
