Farewell to cassettes
May 14th, 2007 FunForever
Audio cassettes are misused nowadays. Less and less people listen to them, preferring to create objects of art, like this cutest retro wallet, hand-made from cassette tapes.
It was created by Marcella Foschi and is available for $43 from Design Boom Shop.
Oh and by the way, Currys in Britain announced that it stops selling cassette tapes. The High Street chain also predicts that this Christmas will be the last time it sells any hi-fi system with a tape deck included.
For a comparison, last year Currys sold just 100,000 tapes compared with 83 million in 1989.

43 dollars is too much.
I am going to make these and sell em, for 1/2 or 1/3 the price, there’s no reason to charge so much for such an easy thing.

Humm, creative is what it is. Since I’m now learning in designing area, I just know it’s not that easy to come out even with this cassettes idea=(
