Here, the a global leader in mobile innovation and design, HTC, of course, have amalgamated with Phunk Studio, the contemporary art and design collective from Singapore, to unveil the very special and limited edition version of HTC One M8 smartphone.

The artists from Phunk have done a brilliant job in sculpting bespoke out "Wonderment" theme onto the aluminium body of the phone, which perfectly describes the inspiration from surroundings, culture and the society in which we live, as mentioned.
"At HTC we are always looking for inspiration from designers and artists across all cultures and media. PHUNK is a hugely talented collective of designers and artists whose global perspective and attention to craft mirrors our values on the HTC design team. Their work responds to the world around them in the same way we design for the attitudes and behaviors we see in people during our creative process. We worked closely with PHUNK to integrate their interpretation of the 'Wonderment' theme into the metal unibody of the HTC One (M8), culminating in an exceptional piece of art that is an inspiration to our team and those who will be lucky enough to own one," said Jonah Becker, Head of HTC Design.
"We're celebrating our 20th year in the industry so we were really excited to be involved in something that allows us to further spread our creativity in areas we haven't yet explored, when it comes to innovation in technology. The design created for the HTC One (M8) gives a snapshot of our forthcoming exhibition, which is inspired by, and is an interpretation of, the world around us. It's the first time anyone has been able to cast their eyes on what's to come from our art and design collective, and we are excited to share our passion for cultural spirit, love, joy and magic," quoted Jackson Tan, Co-Founder of Phunk.
