This concept design strived to reimagine the same magic with more modern materials, and challenges a body form that could enclose the sliding glass display while leaving room for hypothetical components such as volume, power, and headphone jack.

The outcome is a pleasing and interesting light response to the opaque glass. All videos are captured and rendered directly in Blender with baked lighting.
