It’s a lampshade made out of old audio cassettes. I want one. At first I thought perhaps I could make my own, but to get one that looked this good you’d need to:

1. Find lots of cassettes the same colour
2. Soak all the labels, and any accumulated grime, off them
3. Rewind each one to exactly the same spot

Which is probably more effort than I’m willing to make. More here.
