The <a href="http://www.unicahome.com/p40413/phonofone-ii-ipod-speaker-by-tristan-zimmerman.html" target="_blank">Phonophone II</a>, more whimsically described by Unica Home as a "sculptural audio console," costs $450, but this is a true piece of <i>artwork</i>. </p> <p><span class="inline left"><a href="http://teamsugar.com/gallery/view/1511941?page=0,0,0" ></a></span>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 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/tag/vintage+geek" >Vintage Geek</a> subversion that creates a beautiful and modern element of tech art. It's totally going in my "someday" file!<br /> <div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.geeksugar.com/1511941'>View 4 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.geeksugar.com/1511947#comment ipod speakers Phonophone II Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:00:05 -0700 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/1511947
