Show off at Maison&Objet 2020, the dock requires no power or plugs to be used and will instantly go to work amplifying the sound of a smartphone without the need for a conventional speaker. The horn-style speaker is compatible for use with the iPhone 5 and up, and highlights a retro aesthetic for users to appreciate.
