Recycling Cassettes Into Furniture
This is a pretty sweet way to memorialize the death of cassette tapes. Patrick Schuur, a Dutch designer, screwed 918 tapes to a wooden frame to create this “Cassette Tape Closet.” It can be used as both storage and a way to break up a large office space. Hit the jump for more pictures, information, and a link to the eBay auction.
The closet features three doors for access to a large storage area as well as a mosaic tile countertop. First a wooden frame was constructed. Then, the cassette tapes were individually screwed onto the wooden frame.
The retro cassette tape closet was made to bring some peace and comfort in a large open work space. It function was to serve as storage space, as office space divider and look cool and creative at the same time. Cassette tapes were chosen as a building material because they are cool, retro and remind people of how good looking technology used to be in the old times.
