Wild and Wolf Retro 746 Telephone | French Blue

Product Information

Its appearance, combined with a rugged construction, earned it the nickname "The Cow's Hoof" because of its lipped hoof-style base. In 1967 is was a welcome redesign to the popular 706 models and who knew that even now we would still be wanting this telephone to add character and charm to our home decor. If you are unsure about any of the features listed, please check the manufacturer's official information. I chose the Wild and Wolf 746 Phone in Swedish Green, a superb blend of retro cool and subtle colour that will make a statement but isn’t brash.

When it comes to home decor in my home, I love to add little touches to make my home stand out and make a lasting impression on visitors. At the moment I am loving the classic looks from the 1960’s and early 70’s that brought us teak coffee tables and the iconic ‘Modern Phone’ that was introduced in 1967 by the General Post Office in response to popular demand. I remember as a child using the original design, If you dialled one wrong number on the dial then you had to start all over again, Can you imagine our kids doing that now! The iconic type 302 phone was designed by the prolific industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss and introduced in 1937.

I have introduced this stunning 1960’s design classic 746 telephone from Wild and Wolf in to my living room and it has certainly added a little 60s glamour!
