american artist aric snee has created the ‘my phone amp’, a custom built audio system exclusively for the iphone. the design has been formed from molten glass, shaped with wooden tongs. specifically constructed to multiply decibels — or the ratio between two values of intensity — of a phone’s speakers, the sleek device boasts enhanced sound without a volume control panel. the iPhone can be positioned or reversed according to ones preference on the freestanding glass structure. a bilateral construction fills the room with volume, while allowing unrestricted access to the iPhone’s home button.
