Information

      Some songs stay with us.
They remind us of people, late nights, first dances, long drives, or quiet moments we never really forgot. This project was created to give those memories a physical form — something you can touch, hold, and keep.

The wooden cassette brings back the feeling of mixtapes and handwritten labels, when music was shared with intention. In this remix, the classic design is enriched with warm walnut accents, adding contrast, depth, and a subtle elegance. Light wood and dark walnut come together like melody and rhythm — different, but made to belong together.

Instead of a simple decoration, this cassette becomes a small keepsake: a song, an album, or a playlist engraved into wood using a Spotify Code. No screens, no menus — just a quiet moment, a scan, and the music starts playing.

It’s not just about how it looks.
It’s about what it brings back.
