Once again, we are going to talk about the top Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa. In this case, about his wall mounted CD Player, designed for MUJI in 1999. It is a modern classic part of the MoMA New York's permanent collection.

It is a really compact CD Player where the speakers are built into a body reduced to the minimum dimensions. Controls are on the top and it has simply a cable to pull for playing.

And as typically found in Japanese design, each detail has great finishing.
