Moshimy by Michael Young for Native Union

Hong Kong-based British designer Michael Young has designed a mobile phone dock and handset for product design firm Native Union.

The product, called Moshimy,  consists of a dock for recharging phone batteries and a handset for making and receiving calls while at home or in the office.

Its surface is made of olive green plastic and brushed aluminium.

Native Union say that using a separate handset when not actually on the move can spare the user from 96% of radiation compared to using a mobile phone directly.
