Lamps Made From Old Cassettes Exude Warm Retro Glow

This commercial product, the Cassette is Not Dead lamp, is an invitation to start a great DIY project. The €25 ($35) lamp is made up of old audio cassettes which are joined together by nothing more than string. In fact, so easy is it to construct that you can even remove and replace cassettes so they can be listened to (assuming you actually have something to play them on):

[Y]ou can play with it changing the tapes even with yours and listening all of them too.

See? Also available is a floor-standing version, which is essentially the same thing, forming a shade on a standard standard lamp. This costs a record-collection replacing €220 ($312), and could also easily be re-made with a bit of help form Ikea. Still, as inspiration, the beautiful lamps are priceless.
