Science & Sons

Science and Sons is a company that was set up in 2005ish as a reaction against job monotony by a creative eccentric. In their own words, Science and Sons 'aims to elegantly distort and deify the status quo, while indulging the overlooked, broken and forgotten.'

Shown in the images are the 'Phonophone', a completely white ceramic passive amplification device that you can connect your MP3 'type' player to, and by virtue of the material resonance of the ceramic and horn acoustics, sound is boosted to laptop speaker level, with a warm, rich and resonant sound. Beautiful design. The visual impact is significantly increased due to the fact that the whole product is white, in my opinion.

At the bottom is one of their 'Plastidermy' animal trophies, an interesting modern take on the old stuffed stag head. Sliced out by means of some fine 'lasersmithery', these life sized beasts come flat packed, and create an interesting light and design feature.
