Detailed look at the design process of the HTC One M8

Are you curious about the design process and philosophy behind the HTC One M8? Stuff got an exclusive interview with HTC’s Creative Director Daniel Hundt to talk about the One M8 and the future designs of HTC products. Hundt said they started with a chunk of metal and thought about what they wanted to do with that. He said he is a fan of a design approach “that’s not forced, that make you think that’s just what a phone or a chair is supposed to look like. It’s a natural result of the material, without technology being forced in just for technology’s sake.”

Hundt also said that they hope to make a phone that’s as close to 100% metal as possible. The M8 is currently 70% metal. Imagine what a full-metal phone would look like. We’re not sure about the possibility of this happening but we’d like to see HTC try.
