Here’s a piece of furniture that will tickle the fancy of folks who are old enough to remember. This is a Cassette Tape Coffee Table from Singapore’s furniture maker and retailer Wihardja.
I know. Cassette Tape Coffee Table is not the newest news. You should be able to find a bunch on Etsy, including one in a cut-out-yourself kit form. So, I guess Cassette Tape Coffee Table from Wihardja is just another.
What makes this example from Wihardja stands out is, it is both practical and “object-accurate” at the same time. It has all the details, right down to the tape reels complete with the teeth.
Since a tape’s surface is not completely flat for the purpose of a coffee table, the Cassette Tape Coffee Table from Wihardja had a raised glass tabletop. However, it’d have to sacrifice the super cool cupholders/penholders feature as some iterations had.
As a consolation, though, there’s no risk of anything toppling over due to those holes.
In short, you get to utilize the entire surface while still being able to admire the oversized cassette tape. Though, I am not sure if this particular version is proportional to the actual tape. It does look a bit thicker than it should.
Anywho, the glass is tempered glass for safety reasons, and finally, the table features a hidden storage drawer for stowing items like remotes and whatnot.
If anyone’s interested, the Cassette Tape Coffee Table from Wihardja can be had for 499 Singapore dollars (or about US$370). However, we are not sure if these guys do ship internationally.
