07 SPOTIFY DECADES

2024

The concept for this project was to make special edition collectibles that celebrated good music over the decades. There are five variations of the objects, a record player (1970s), a cassette tape (1980s), a boombox (1990s), a CD case (2000s), and an iPod (2010s). Each item also has a Spotify code engraved into it, giving the audience the opportunity to discover new music. The song is from the respective decade of each object.

I wanted the unboxing process to be an experience for the buyer; from the ominous, mysterious blind box packaging, to the anticipation built up while scanning the code, to the packaging opening up into a display stand.

The intended business model is for the product to be advertised as a limited edition collectible. This would lead to the implementation of preservation and display processes, the introduction of resell markets, and the presence of a trading culture.
