South Korean designer Micky Kim has created the Clothespin MP3 Player, a music player inspired by the standard clothespin. Kim’s Clothespin MP3 Player, which was designed for VOKA, actually clings to your clothing, making for a smart musical device you can take with you anywhere minus the hassle of looking for it in your bag.
What’s more, the earphones of the Clothespin MP3 Player can be automatically rewound which reduces tangled up wires in your bag or around your body. It offers aesthetic appeal, too, with its metallic case and shiny aluminum finish.
