Green Talk: Bringing Back 45s!

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Sure, 45s aren’t the most recent music medium in the world but nothing says throwback like the sweet voice of a young Ella Fitzgerald. What about those 80’s kids? Sometimes it’s hard to let go of your favorite Nirvana cassette, who cares if the tape came out of it 10 years ago! Now, no one is going to laugh at your out of date music collection.

Contexture Design has developed a collection of amazing iPod cases from old 45s and cassettes. Not only are they recycled, but you can send in your favorite record or compact cassette and they’ll custom design it for you!

Or you can go to the Contexture Design Website to find out exactly how the 45 and Cassette come back to life. For more information on these cool products, check out ILounge Reviews.
