The retro cassette tape is making its way back into the mainstream, and this table from Jeff Skierka Designs puts it on the modern map in a big way.
Made out of maple, lucite and walnut, the table is a work of art with its intricate wood detailing. The design exactly replicates a cassette tape and is even reversible (just like a real tape!). A plexiglass top over the wood construction offers a solid surface to leave your books and other knick knacks on. Taking five years to complete, this design will surely take your breath away with its amazing attention to detail.
