StylingMeet The Coolest Retro Phone For Modern Homes
It’s not just ’70s arches that have returned to the spotlight. The retro phone has also returned in all its chunky, rotary-dial glory. And yes, it actually works.
GPO Retro is the home of some of the coolest vintage phones and household equipment that you grew up with and never thought you’d see again. From the good old rotary phone (with handles made for slamming) to wall-mounted styles, these beauties are that piece of retro styling you’ve been pining for.
GPO Retro Rotary Phone
The GPO Retro 746 Rotary Telephone ($119) is our pick of the bunch and it comes in 10 different shades. There’s essentially a colour available to suit almost any interior colour palette, whether it’s neutral, monochrome or bright. It comes in the classic style of the British rotary phone, complete with tone dialling and a bell ringer that’ll take you straight back to your childhood.
Measuring just 21.5cm x 11.5cm, this has a small enough footprint to pop on bedside tables without cluttering. Just plug it in, ring a mate and chat for hours.
GPO Retro Trim Phone
After something wall-mounted? No problem. The GPO Retro Trim Phone Push Button ($99) attaches to walls exactly like it was back in the day and it’s a fab way to add some vintage goodness to spaces without cluttering surfaces. It also makes a seriously fun housewarming gift for fans of retro decor (we all have that one friend!).
Colours include mustard, black, pink and an unmissable red. It features push-button dialling and comes equipped with rubber feet to protect walls and benches if you choose to use it on a table.
Whether you use them purely as decor or as a refreshing change to your internet-crazed smartphone, these beauties are the touch of nostalgia you never knew you needed.
Prices start at $99.95 with free shipping from THE ICONIC.
