This simple but amazing gadget can cook eggs with the shape we desire: heart, cilyndric, square and semisphere.

Hi-tech loves Design: iToch by Realizzatori di Idee

 

 

Hello design lovers! Today the column High-tech loves Design introduces you iToch, a natural acoustic amplifier for iPhone, iPod and all other types of smartphone, born from the creativity of the designers Daniele and Davide Barbieri brothers, founders of the laboratory Realizzatori di Idee.
The iPhone disappears completely within iToch, which amplifies sound by about 30% without the use of batteries due to the particular system that allows the sound to come together in a pavilion increasing the sound in a natural way. iToch is crafted entirely of spruce wood and is available in different colour: natural wood, white or black.

Even the name is original,  we can translate the word "Toch"  in the dialect of its creators with "piece", in this case a piece of wood.

How do you think about this object who unites neture and tecnology togheter in the name of music and design?

L'iphone scompare completamente all'interno di iTòch, il quale amplifica il suono di circa il 30% senza l'uso di batterie grazie al particolare sistema che permette all’audio di confluire in un padiglione aumentando in modo naturale il suono.  iToch è realizzato artigianalmente interamente in legno d’abete ed è disponibile in diversi colori: legno naturale chiaro o scuro, bianco e nero. Anche il nome è originale  ovvero “tòch” che si traduce dal dialetto di origine dei suoi creatori in “pezzo", in questo caso pezzo di legno.

Cosa ne pensate di questo oggetto che unisce natura e tecnologia insieme in nome della musica e del design?
