The Dong Son phone

Author Date

Luxury mobile phone manufacturer Mobiado has created a new version of the Professional 3 GCB phone inspired by the art of a Bronze Age culture.

Canadian luxury mobile phone manufacturer, Mobiado has released a new model inspired by the art of the Dong Son people, who belonged to a Bronze Age culture that flourished in Vietnam from 700-500 BC until the first century AD. These people excelled in metalwork and among their finest products were the Dong Son drums, which were cast in bronze and beautified with geometric designs, scenes of daily life, wars, animals and birds. The images shared a dynamic view of the Dong Son society and now Mobiado has recreated this art on the Professional 3 GCB phone.

The Dong Son phone is created by CNC machining the bass frame of the Professional 3 GCB and precision engraving it with a Dong Son drum decorative image. Similar to the drums, the Dong Son phone also features man and animal scenes blended with geometric designs. The final artwork is manufactured by glass-bead blasting the frame and plating it with 24 carat gold.
