Have a need for extravagantly priced but exquisite-looking white ceramic iPod speakers? The Phonophone II, more whimsically described by Unica Home as a "sculptural audio console," costs $450, but this is a true piece of artwork.
That's how I'm choosing to think of this piece by Tristan Zimmerman — as a "piece" — rather than just some iPod speakers. Then I can appreciate it as gorgeous instead of just glancing at it and passing over it as "too expensive." I love the all-white ceramic rendering and the Vintage Geek subversion that creates a beautiful and modern element of tech art. It's totally going in my "someday" file!

Um, wow. Do want.
1This is gorgeous. If I knew the sound quality was stellar, I'd consider buying it.
2That is so cute and really pretty!
3This is AMAZING! If only I had the money, and the right apartment to showcase it.. and the right ipod.
4WAooo. I usualy hate ipod docks. But this one is really really too kwel.
5I want this in my life. God, that's stellar
6SO stunning. I can so easily imagine it in my living room. . . but sadly my bank account cannot
7My sister works for a store in Dallas that sells these ipod phonophones. As beautiful as they are, the store has already had three of them break just from normal usage. The ceramics used are very thin and breakable.
I got to listen to one at the store and the sound quality and volume is only mediocre.
My sister gave me one of the bases (the cermain horn broke into about 15 pieces) and I am currently trying to retrofit an old metal horn in its place.
