Constructed entirely from ceramic, the Phonofone II is clever piece of applied science, a beautiful icon of nostalgia, and a twist on personal listening devices.

And, to ensure the Phonofone II is a piece of audible art, each piece is signed and contains a serial edition number. For more information, visit scienceandsons.com
