Furthermore, from the device itself to its UX, cover, and packaging, the elements of Maison Margiela’s iconic design philosophy were thoughtfully extended to many aspects of the Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition.
Galaxy Z Flip 4:
Maison Margiela’s signature solid white color with a matte finish was incorporated into the smartphone with a drop of gray to create the optimal shade of white.
The phone also adopts Maison Margiela’s Decortic technology, which exposes an object’s core by pulling the outer layers of the back, with fine, translucent lines that line the phone’s internal circuitry.
UX:
The device comes with a completely new UX design including wallpapers and icons. The paintbrush artwork is designed with advanced 3D modeling technology to capture the texture of rough brush strokes. It also captures the scanning motion of X-rays for a see-through look.
Accessories:
The Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition comes with two iconic phone cases. The first is a unique leather cover that reflects the house’s iconic bianchetto technique, which reduces an object down to the simple beauty of a white canvas and its four stitches emblem, which signifies anonymity.
Meanwhile, the second cover is a spin on Maison Margiela’s emblematic numeric coding ring, evoking the house’s DNA.
Whereas, the box of the device is itself a work of art, playing with the reimagined idea of the house and exposing the rough surface of the inner pulp material to provide a packaging design that has never been seen before.
Availability:
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 Maison Margiela Edition will only be available in select markets, including China (Hong Kong), France, and Korea, starting from December 1, 2022. The company has not revealed the prices of these smartphones nor told if they will be available in other countries or not.
