Everything is mounted on the handset
You could lie it flat, but that didn’t make it go on-hook. You had to use the top button to switch it on and off.
You could hang the phone on its passive hook. Clearly this remained unused on this example and this shows how light has discoloured the aqua blue to a mid green.
A designer phone for the weird 1990s, the Ola was designed by the ultra-trendy Philippe Starck. Unusually for a fixed line phone, there is no hook switch – the phone is switched on by a button and the hanging hook is purely passive.
