They say everything old is new again, and if that’s indeed the case, then I’m feeling very new. Or fresh. Or new. You see, I’ve decided to try a little social experiment where everything that would normally be referred to as ‘fresh’ is actually ‘new’. New bread, new fruit, a new breeze. You get the picture. Or if you don’t, I swear I haven’t been drinking. However, I do digress.
Here is the latest fancy home accessory from Italian designers, en&is: a ceramic gramophone bugle of sorts. Hand-fired and seated on handmade timber tripod, it uses your iPhone’s or iPod Touch’s loudspeaker to amplify the sound the good old-fashioned way—sans electricity. It’s avaiable in three colours and wouldn’t look out-of-place on your kitchen bench as much as on top of the Swiss Alps. What a new idea!
