Flat-panel TVs, phones without keypads, ignition-less cars. All important innovations, no doubt, but who among us doesn't experience the occasional bout of lo-fi nostalgia? A clever way to indulge in both old-school aesthetics and modern technology is Science and Sons' Phonofone II. The limited-edition, handmade ceramic sculpture is a functional gramophone, whose soothing curves and well-engineered design turn your music player's puny output into resonant, room-filling sound. Combine your iPhone and a Phonofone, and hear the past and present make beautiful music together.
Phonofone II by Science and Sons, serial limited edition of 200, about $840. For more information and to order, see www.scienceandsons.com.
