The Kobratelefonen is a Swedish design classic and style icon that was introduced by the company LM Ericsson during the mid-1950s. The design of the phone, which was an innovative one-piece telephone, was carried out by designer Ralph Lysell in conjunction with the company. The phone's unique appearance, reminiscent of a vigilant cobra, earned it the nickname “Cobra Phone”.
When it was launched, the main feature of the phone was to make calls, which is very different from today's smartphones with its many different features. Despite this, the cobra phone quickly became popular and in demand. Its success led to it being classed as one of the most important industrial designs of the 20th century and it is even on display at MoMA in New York.
The cobra phone got its name “Ericofon” from Ericsson and the Greek word “fon” for sound. However, due to a trademark conflict, it was nicknamed the “Cobra Phone”. The phone was manufactured in different colors, which contributed to its popularity. After production ceased in 1982, the cobra phone became a sought-after collector's item.
The cobra phone has an exciting history and has become a symbol of Swedish design and innovation. Its unique appearance and function have made it a popular collector's item and an esteemed design classic.
