72 minutes is a transparent CD player that allows users to integrate their favorite albums into their home's interior design.
Music has a profoundly personal impact on most people -- an experience that is hard to express tangibly -- and this device is aiming to change that by allowing people to display their under-utilized disks, with the intention of revitalizing the outdated music-listening practice. The glass CD player has a transparent body which can act as a display case while simultaneously playing music. The device can hold 5 different CDs on average, and will take about 72 minutes to complete one disk rotation.
This in-home device provides a modern purpose for an outdated product, appealing to lovers of vintage accessories and nostalgic technology.
