Design, Italians do it better

Marble Amplifier for iPhone

View all 5 Photos

Designed by the Italian brand Monitillo Marmi, this classical amplifier is made from a single piece of Carrara white marble. The simple speaker has no digital controls aside from the iPhone’s internal volume and equalizer. Users just adjust the position of the angled cylinder to alter the sound. The intuitive design fits an iPhone 6 or 5s and looks to be of value long after these technologies are outmoded.
