Samsung unveiled its new limited edition Galaxy Z Flip4 last month. It partnered with French haute couture house Maison Margiela to reimagine the stylish foldable in the "spirit of nonconformity." The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 Maison Margiela takes the brand's design philosophy to the phone, UX, accessories, and even packaging. It comes in white with a matte finish "weaved" into the smartphone. The phone also embraces the Parisian couture house's décortiqué technique, which strips an object's outer layers to expose the core features. In this case, there are translucent lines that look like the smartphone's internal circuits. Its frame comes in a matte silver white, which Samsung claims is the perfect balance" with the white of the phone.
This special edition flip smartphone also has a new UX design, complete with tailor-made icons and wallpapers. The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 Maison Margiela Edition also comes with two cases. One is a leather case showing off Maison Margiela's bianchetto technique. It has a white canvas with the fashion house's four stitches emblem that signifies anonymity. The case is overpainted to create a canvas-like texture, meaning it could change its look over time. The second case uses Maison Margiela's iconic numeric coding ring and turns that into a ring holder for the phone.
The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip4 Maison Margiela Edition is available in South Korea, Hong Kong, and France in limited numbers. It retails for KRW 2,255,000 in its home country (around CA$2,338).
