In South Korea, designer Hyunbin Kim has created a music box made out of used coffee grounds.
Dubbed Snowie, the holiday-themed music box features a base made out of the compostable waste material, as well as an aluminum top and hat spring that serves as a winding mechanism. Once inserted and wound, Snowie plays Christmas music, according to Yanko Design.
The box is available in brown, ivory and white. Kim hopes to have the box available for wider sale in time for Christmas 2025.
