The old vinyls had so much flair that it’s not a surprise they managed to find their way back into mainstream through a whole wack of arts and crafts. Cassette tapes were revolutionary too. They rocked a robotic futuristic mode and now they’re back in their own arts and crafts piece.
The cassette tape lamp is an awesome piece of retro-revival. The tapes are fastened together with plastic ties in a cube formation to create a cool looking lighting fixture that has a neat glow through the holes of the cassettes.
It’s quite clear that retro is back and even more clear the recycling is in, so hop on the train of retro recycling and make yourself a cassette tape lamp.
