    Berlin Boombox

    Cardboard is actually a pretty good material for audio amplification (relatively speaking), and if you’re looking for a cool low-fi way to boost your iPod’s volume, check out the Berlin Boombox. This Kickstarter-funded product by German designer Axel Pfaender is a do-it-yourself kit that comes flat packed and is simple to assemble. Two 5-watt amplifiers deliver decent sound and the whole thing is so light it won’t give you shoulder cramps. It has a slick, retro screenprinted design that is both eco-friendly and easy on the eyes.
