Mixtape stamp activity kit from Yellow Owl Workshop

Mixtape

The humble cassette compilation once more provides inspiration for designers, this time in the form of a mixtape stamp activity kit. It's made by the Yellow Owl Workshop, who you may remember from their ceramic polaroid camera. 

The kit includes a rubber stamp representing an old fashioned mixtape mounted onto a marble block. You'll also get a blue ink pad and a red pencil, ready to dedicate your print. The music, however, you'll have to provide another way. 

The stamp kit costs $19.

Cassette_mat_2_medium

Like the rubik's cube beanbag we featured the other day, here's another icon of the 80s that crops up repeatedly on homewares: the humble cassette, this time appearing in this tape doormat from Third Drawer Down

The doormat comes in the shape of simple blank cassette and measures a substantial 60cm across. It's probably a bit more durable than the average tape too, being made from rubber and being fully washable. 

The doormat costs AUD74.
