Until the early 1930s, the housing of the Swedish phone models was made from pressed steel. Material change from steel to "Bakelite" brought new opportunities in design, while also reducing the production time for the housing. The Bakelite phone was not only compact but also light at just below 3kg, and could be grasped by one hand. The device with its simple, curved angular design became an instant hit with the industry as well as the consumers, and was highly influential.
