Turn your iPhone into a Bakelite pyramid!

Published on 12 September 2010. No comments.

We’ve noticed that it’s not just us who have an inclination to restore a bit of the class and elegance of traditional phone design into the modern world.

In other news articles we’ve posted on this site from time to time, you’ll find recommendations for replica retro handsets which you can plug into your modern hi-tech phone for a bit more comfort when actually speaking to people. But now we have found something slightly different, and even more appealing from an aesthetics point of view: a dock for Apple’s iPhone in the form of a classic Bakelite Pyramid.

Perfect for the office or home office, this wonderful contraption, entitled the iRetrofone Base allows you to put down your iPhone in a cradle, in such a way that it is almost concealed, and then take calls on a perfect replica of a classic Bakelite Pyramid, with all the comfort and enjoyment that you would expect from an original.

Admittedly it’s not cheap at $195 – but as we all know, great style doesn’t come cheap.
