Playfully Retro CD Players

Semetor Introduces the Dynamic K8 CD Player at IFA 2024

— September 12, 2024 — Tech
Semetor presents a look at the beautifully created K8 CD Player during IFA 2024. It is a retro music device that allows the CD to carefully rest on top like a vinyl or a gramophone. It is designed with a few clear buttons that are made to reflect the look of a typewriter to allow controls such as music playback.

Additionally, it is developed with Bluetooth technology and FM radio to keep up with more modern needs. Building on this, the K8 CD player also has a wireless speaker and dynamic lamp to create a calm ambiance to the adorable design. The structure is rounded for an inviting and playful feel which is furthered by the pastel shades.
