A lot of work by Drought evokes a comforting feeling of nostalgia and its new iMirror follows the same inspiration as it celebrates the iconic look of the iPod Nano. The iMirror made its initial release back in August last year and now the conversational design makes an appearance once again.
It stands at 5 feet in height and celebrates the retro music device as the full-body mirror's body. It comes in six colorway options, similar to the music player. This includes blue, silver, green, red, purple, and pink. The circular remote makes its way onto the bottom half of the design and is done in the classic white color across all of the color options with ' Drought' at the top function.
