 Nokia Head of Design talks shape and colour of Nokia Lumia 625

Marko Ahtisaari, Nokia Executive Vice President of Design, introduced the Nokia Lumia 625 at the Le Web 2012 in Paris, France. He spoke about his admiration for Finish architect Alvar Aalto and the idea of ‘a gentler design to life’. This means focussing on the things people routinely do maybe 50 or 100 times a day and make them better, rather than focussing on things that don’t really matter.
