Entry Description

The project aims to redesign a Panasonic CD player to evoke nostalgia for music while tackling the looming issue of potential CD waste. This initiative coincides with the 25th anniversary of the CD's debut in 1982, emphasizing the cultural and historical significance of CDs in music. By infusing a new design that resonates with consumers, the project seeks to revive interest in CD players, contributing to a more sustainable approach to managing surplus CDs and their environmental impact.
