October-December 1990 – Koala phone
As we gear up to celebrate 40 years of Australian Giftguide magazine we take a look back at some of the more memorable products to have graced our pages.
Does it get more Aussie than this? The Koala phone from Koala & Co was designed by James A. Draemar and manufactured locally by Exicom. It generated global interest when the handmade sample was released. Dressed in classic Aussie garb, the koala phone could be adapted to any country’s system and wholesaled for $114.
