Don't get us wrong. We're completely enamored with Duffy London's new glass-topped coffee table that looks like it's being supported by a cluster of helium balloons. We're just not sure calling it the UP was the best idea. That mouse can be very litigious!
Even though the cassette tape is long gone from music store shelves, there's still enough nostalgia for the old medium that it may never die. From mixtape websites that let you share a handful of songs, to this utterly fantastic giant wooden cassette coffee table.
