Tangent Audio has unveiled the PearlBox iPod/iPhone dock.

The company has worked with designer Jean-Yves Le Porcher to create a compact gift dock measuring 110×180×180 mm that looks as good as it sounds.

Taking its elegant design inspiration from a jewellery box, the PearlBox includes a brace of 1in dome tweeters in the lid backed by a single 3in midrange/subwoofer driver in the base. It claims to deliver 2×10 watts RMS.

There are no onboard controls, since it’s entirely operated by remote, or by touching your Apple device directly.

The Tangent PearlBox will be available in high-gloss black with a silky red fabric interior or a high-gloss white cabinet with a silver inside. It goes on sale in September for £120.
