With the invention of the phonograph, listening to music was brought to your living room and this steampunk phone dock takes that look to create a funky design. Skipping passed the boring speakers that are in any old docking station, this steampunk phone dock has a stylish flared bell horn to pump the tunes out.
The slim design of the base with the colorful tubes looks like it has been plucked off the set of a sci-fi set. The cross between the phonograph and tubes actually fits right in with the 'TARDIS' of the 'Doctor Who' television series, as the 'TARDIS' has in the past had a very steampunk feel to its interior that looks like it was put together with scrap parts found around a junk yard.
