If you’re sick of phones that look the same, make a Cyrcle

Near twenty years ago, Christina Cyr and Linda Inagawa started working at Microsoft on the same day. All week they kept finding their new colleagues mixing them up, until on the Friday they finally met. They’ve been friends ever since — and now, they’ve teamed up to change the way mobile phones are designed.

Cyr and Inagawa’s company is called Dtoor — which stands for “Designing the opposite of rectangle” — and their first planned product is the Cyrcle, a round mobile phone.
