Photos courtesy of Supermarket Made from 50 percent recycled cassette tape and 50 percent polyester, these sonic fabric neckties are actually playable, emitting “a garbled, underwater-like sound when you run a tape head over it,” as Yuka Yoneda at Inhabitat describes it.
The limited-edition ties were created through a collaboration between artist Alyce Santoro, inventor of sonic fabric, and designer Julio Cesar. According to the whimsical sonic fabric site, the ties “are intended to impart the wearer with special, subtle powers of perception and attunement, and to emit an intangible sense of the miraculous.”
More practically, the ties incorporate upcycled materials into a practical, wearable accessory, perfect for your next Green Drinks event. For $90, a sonic tie can be yours. Pick from black, gray, or brown ties at Supermarket.
