One of my favorite projects from Blue Ribbon Salvage<\/a> is the idea of turning vintage Gramophone speakers into hanging lamps. I thought that was an awesomely beautiful way to repurpose these already-gorgeous pieces of musical history. The idea of simply reusing them as an iPhone speaker was always dreamily tossed around, but never acted upon.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, designer Matt Richmond<\/strong> pulled through with this hack of an old Victrola phonograph horn, the iVictrola<\/strong>. More pics and info at HEMagazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another take on the iGramophone<\/strong> concept is from\u00a0Tristan Zimmerman<\/strong>, the ultra-modern, Design Exchange Award-winning\u00a0Phonofone II<\/strong>. Available for purchase at\u00a0Charles & Marie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not sure if this is playable or just a concept. Rad either way. Designed by Yong Jieyu<\/strong> & Ama Xue Hong Bin<\/strong>, the Phonograph CD Player<\/strong> consists of a disassembled CD player with the laser positioned like a classic needle tracing a wax groove.\u00a0More info at Engadget<\/a>.<\/p>\n
