Retro "Cobra" Telephone
With the Ericofon, LM Ericsson from Sweden took a big step forward in telephone design. With the arrival of new materials after the Second World War, it became possible to make the telephone small, light and therefore user-friendly. In the late 1940s, a team with Hugo Blomberg and Ralph Lysell was formed under the leadership of Gösta Thames to design a new telephone. This resulted in the Ericophone in 1954, which was originally intended for institutional use, but it soon became apparent that the one-piece design was very welcome, especially for hospitals, which became major customers. Later, in 1956, sales for home use started. Having grown into a design item without equal, the Cobra is still collected worldwide to this day.
