Retro Transparent Cassette Players

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

NINM Lab Unveils the Nostalgic It's Real Cassette Player

— April 11, 2023 — Tech
NINM Lab evokes a nostalgic feeling with its latest design in the form of the It's Real cassette player. It is a fully functional player, as referenced in its namesake, and features an entirely transparent design language. It can also work as a speaker as well, activated through Bluetooth connectivity.

The overall design nods to the retro theme as it brings forth an analog theme without compromising the function. It allows users to stream their music through the cassette tape and is actually a cassette player that works with a built-in speaker. Due to the clear design, it allows users to see the tape rotating inside of the player with the transparent top cover as well.
