Real Fleet is introducing three new products in their line of design-centric electronics: a phone, a learning remote, and a cleaner. I know there are a lot of you out there who wouldn't want a device that sacrifices functionality for design, but I really liked the look of these.

Real Fleet announced four new products in their "amadana" original home electronics brand lineup: two phones, a learning remote control, and a cleaner. The products will be released starting in September at 300 partner shops throughout Japan (interior shop / select shop / electronics shop).

Phone (w/ answering machine): 23,100 yen to be released in November
Phone (w/o answering machine): 12,600 yen to be released in November
Super Multi Remote: 26,250 yen to be released in September
Stick Cleaner: 23,100 yen to be released in October

All of the products, like the rest of those in the "amadana" series, feature acrylic, wood, and leather materials.

The "DT-120," a phone with an answering machine, features a stainless sharp-edge acrylic with sharp edge manufacturing, and uses leather on the phone receiver. It features three quickdial buttons useful at locations such as office reception, and an answering machine that allows message selection. Its size is 163 x 180 x 65.9 (W x D x H).

The "DU-119" is a basic model of the above, and features sharp-edge acrylic and natural walnut on its cradle, and leather on the receiver. It too features three speedial buttons. The size of the handset is 48 x 16 x 180 (W x D x H), and the cradle is 100 x 100 x 35mm (W x D x H).

The "CR-202" super-multi remote controller is an infrared learning remote controller, and it can be used to control a maximum of 9 electronics devices. 300 types of remote controller codes are preprogrammed from major manufacturers. Its size is 64 x 28.7 x 230mm (W x D x H), and it runs off of two AA batteries.

The "CS-115" is a stick type cleaner that features two brushes to help get rid of dirt. It is a rechargeable cordless unit, and by simply extending the stick, it will turn on. The size of the unit itself is 243 x 199 x 178 (W x D x H, 1250 when extended), and the recharger is 240 x 104 x 54mm (W x D x H).

Real Fleet is a consumer electronics maker established in 2002 by Masaki Tamegai and Hiroyuki Kumamoto, in charge of Toshiba's "atehaca" designer electronics line. The company develops and sells consumer electronics with a serious consideration for interiors, and is based around the "beautiful home electronics" concept.

Added to the 11 products already available in the "amadana" brand (air purifier, multi-remote, calculator, desktop audio, personal shredder, humidifier, portable DVD player, earphone, toaster oven, mill and mixer, IH cooking utensil) and 6 products announced (coffee maker, oven range, world clock, massage chair, cordless phone), these new products bring the total to 21.
