iShells

Just back from holidays and you still hear the sounds of the waves of the sea in your ears? The memory of the days spent on the beach is like sweet music in your head? Why don’t run on these sensations? The Portuguese architect and designer Joana Astolfi created iShells, headphones really peculiar: with two sea shells instead of earphones! Oh well, you are not going to hear all the Byrds’ twelve-string guitar vibrations, not the AC/DC’ shouts and not even Rufus Wainwright’s sweetest notes, but at least the echo of the ocean of these marvellous shells will bring you back just to ten days ago when you were lain down in front of the sea or back to your chilhood, when you were used to play on the beach, picking up a shell and hearing the echo of the ocean, just placing it near your ear. And amongst many I-pad, I-phone, I-pod, iShells makes fun of techonology preferring aesthetic and poetry. Is it heavenly romantic, isn’t it?
