Exclusive: ThomBrowneNY reveals a touch-screen flip phone with SamsungMobile.
What if your cell phone wasn’t a thing you hated? What if it didn’t annoy you all day with bleeps and bloops and notifications about your ex-roommate’s best friend’s baby’s tea ceremony? What if gazing into the glowing screen that has reshaped the way we see ourselves and the world was actually an enjoyable experience? Maybe Thom Browne’s new phone with Samsung can give you that, or at least put a silly little smile on your face while you live update a Google Doc about synergizing upward...
The second big difference is just about everything. Thanks to the bifurcated screen design, the phone can be propped open like a compact mirror and run different apps on each half of the screen.

Making app toggling a little more fun is the fact that all of Samsung proprietary apps—texting, emails, the camera, etc.—have custom icons designed by Thom Browne to look like garment labels.
, but for Browne, the partnership came from a long relationship with Samsung through his stores in Korea. What’s more, the designer sees the project as a testament to the power of creative thinking. “The exciting thing about working with a tech company is that the limits are limitless. That is something so interesting to me because I find in design that you should never be limited. You should think that you can push things as far as possible,” he says. “That’s what we did.
What is for certain is that you will, in fact, break into a silly little smile from the moment you turn the phone on. I promise it. The reason is simple: As the phone powers up, a video of horizontal blinds opening plays accompanied by the exact and specific sound of the cork popping off a bottle of Krug Champagne. Cheers!
