Submerged in an age of CDs, MP3s and digital music it’s almost impossible to believe that it wasn’t so long ago we were listening to albums recorded onto a reel of magnetic tape encased in a clunky plastic shell.  The Umbra Cassetta Mirror celebrates and immortalises the humble cassette tape, turning the once unwieldy technology into stylish modern art.

At 76cm across this modern living room mirror is a fantastic statement piece, bringing a touch of nostalgia, glamour and sculpture to your interior.  35 discarded vintage tapes have been attached around the circumference of this funky cassette mirror, each of them plated in chrome and becoming part of the reflective surface.

Given the specific subject of the Umbra Cassetta Mirror it would absolutely make the right recipient’s day if presented as a gift.  This would make the ideal bedroom or hallway mirror for anybody with a penchant for retro / vintage accessories.
