Casette Plastered Storage

Just when you thought that casette tapes had no use in the world, along comes Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s countryman, Patrick Schuur, with the cassette tape closet. Patrick used 918 casette tapes and screwed them all to the wooden frame of his storage device to create a colourful, quirky, contemporary piece of furniture that is pretty darn unique I must say.

This is a really creative way of sprucing up an old cabinet or storage device with something that’s- from a technological standpoint- old too. Go crazy and have fun plastering your casette tapes over the doors of your old cabinets! The word that comes to mind right now- retrofitting.

You know, this just gave me an inspiration to brighten up my dull grey electrical console/box in the house. I always thought i’d find an art print, cut it to size and glue it on and around the lifeless casing of electrical console (yes, the artist will be utterly disgusted that i desecrate his artwork this way… I wasn’t planning to buy an expensive print for this exercise anyway). But thanks to Patrick’s idea, I might just retrofit my electrical console with casettes now… tee hee.
