Cassette Lamp Is a Shining Ode to Analog

Cassettes are sort of strangely attractive on their own , in a bulky , disused kind of style — so adding a brilliant bulb behind a box of them could only be pretty . The Tape Lamp does just that — and surprisingly non - tackily , too .

Transparent House — the design team behind the Tape Lamp — wanted a physical marker to the apace disappearing spiritualist . tape ! mass used to cherish the ( now somewhat alien ) plastic thing . The team opt for microcassettes rather of stock sound tape for aesthetic purposes , but 100 of them bundle into a plexiglass anatomy is still a visual treat . Plus — twist each one back and forth however you ’d wish to interchange the smell of your lamp . The feeling of my finger in one of those spiky small cassette trap is already bring back a undulation of analog nostalgia . [ Tape LampviaYanko ]
