has abstract	The Contempra is a telephone designed and produced by Northern Electric beginning in 1967. Contempra was the first phone designed in Canada, previous Canadian sets having been designed in the US for Western Electric and built under licence. Contempra was highly stylized, using straight lines and oblique angles where curves and corners would be found on contemporary sets like the Trimline. The design was further notable at release for being available in "nine outrageously elegant colours" including bright red and orange, deep brown and green, and other colours selected to match new styles of interior decorating emerging in the 1960s. The one option that was not initially supplied was black, the standard colour for phones for decades. Contempra remains an icon of Canadian industrial design, famous to the point of being featured on a postage stamp. It won numerous design awards and is part of the permanent display at the Canadian Museum of History and Canada Science and Technology Museum. It was widely licensed around the world and its production, including that of a smaller version known as Contemprette, continued into the 1990s.

Contempra fue el primer teléfono diseñado en Canadá, previamente todos los teléfonos canadienses habían sido diseñados en EE.UU por Western Electric y construidos bajo licencia. Contempra era muy elegante, usando líneas rectas y ángulos oblicuos cuyas curvas y esquinas se encontrarían en otros diseños contemporáneos como . El diseño fue muy reconocido en su lanzamiento por estar disponible en “nueve colores llamativos y elegantes” incluyendo rojo brillante y naranja, marrón oscuro y verde, y otros colores seleccionados para combinar con los nuevos estilos de decoración interior que empezaron a surgir en la década de los sesenta. La única opción que no fue incluida inicialmente fue el negro, el que había sido el color estándar de los teléfonos durante años. Contempra sigue siendo un icono del diseño industrial canadiense, de hecho, es tan famoso hasta el punto de haber sido publicado en sellos postales. Ganó numerosos premios de diseño y es parte de la exposición permanente del Museo Canadiense de la Historia y el Museo de Ciencia y Tecnología de Canadá. Fue ampliamente licenciado alrededor del mundo y su producción, incluyendo su versión más pequeña conocida por “Contemprette”, continuó hasta la década de los 90. (es)
