Without getting into an audiophiles debate over music formats, it’s fair to say that for many of us, our music collection still exists in a physical form. Most of these collections I would guess do more dust gathering than anything else. Designer Li Jianye is attempting to breathe new life into such collections with his predictably titled “iShelf”. The iShelf brings Apple’s coverflow to your physical collection, displaying your choice albums in the now universally recognized format.
Just in case you missed it, yes this is meant for a standard jewel case so no… your Burt Bacharach greatest hits box set wont fit. Even if it is in your top playlist.
Designer: Li Jianye
LOL!
This reminds me SNL.
Where did the iRack, for storage stuff.
I thought this design looked more like a parody than a concept.
Hahha.. Love the idea. I think it makes cute decorative purpose but not practical.
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
I kinda think the point has been missed.
I have a couple hundred CDs. Most of them are mass-produced noise that doesn’t warrant any sort of public display. More recently, this is stuff that I’d just download and forget ever owning physical media for.
But there are a few sets that are unique and interesting enough to warrant holding, and displaying, physical media. To this end, showing off 5 discs on your wall seems as easily justifiable as anything you might place on your coffee table.
Or, maybe that’s just me…?
I think its pretty cool.. but everyone has their own opinions!
Slick design! It's probably not practical to only hold 5 CDs but it's all about the idea behind it. Besides, it's an awesome display piece to have. Even though if it could hold more cases, people would just come up with another criticism that it'll accumulate dust or that's a waste of space.
As a designer myself, very well executed to resemble exactly like the Apple cover flow! *thumbs up*
So, is it for sale? I would like to purchase one as a gift for a friend! 🙂
