The Amplamp is a handcrafted lamp and speaker combo, handcrafted by British designer Dominic Bromley.
The lamp's shades come in different hues of beige and its base come in either black or white.
The speaker/lamp features an on-board amplifier (80 watts including sub woofer), spatial stereo, NXT and Airsound technologies and the option of a docking station for your iPod.
Implications - Combining two pieces of technology into one product is a way for companies to expand their horizons. As society embraces a minimalist and simplistic style, having less is more, which can be translated into having fewer products that provide more functions. By incorporating multiple products into one, companies are offering consumers convenience, practicality and function.
