Hyunbin Kim is the creative mind behind the Snowie concept, which is a music box idea that is made from recycled materials. It is a Christmas music device that is made from coffee grounds and takes on the shape of a round mound of coffee grounds reflecting a snowball but in a brown hue due to its construction.
It also wears an adorable silver top hat that is made from aluminum materials complete with a polished technique. The hat spring acts as the winding mechanism for the music box. Once it is inserted into the top of the device, it can wind up and Christmas music is meant to play. It is rounded out by a magnetic Snowie nose.
