“Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works”

Steve Jobs

The project takes into consideration today’s era where each one of us has a phone, a smart phone as part of our body. Carried by hand, in a pocket, between the legs while driving, near the plate while eating and next to our bed as the day ends and we retire to sleep.

This exercise is a play on scale, where an amplifier is created to give a small object a much louder sound.

The aim is mainly to amplify the sound and give it direction.

the mobile phone should be easily placed and taken out of its slot within the amplifier, while maintaining the equilibrium and sturdiness of the structure.
