The TAYBLES are a stylish revival of the compact cassette that was once popular at a time when music streaming and MP3 files were yet to be a thing. These tables bring back the retro design of the windup music discs by turning the design into a large scale cassette version and mounting it on a pair of legs to be used as a side or coffee table. The design is an exact replica of a true cassette featuring all the small detailed elements found in the real version.
The tables are made in Los Angeles using hardwood that is hollowed out and painted with all the details of a real mixtape. This includes the same metal detailing and written label, as well as the tape coil located inside the cassette.
