MUJI Wall-Mounted CD Player

My roommate has the MUJI wall-mounted CD player designed by Naoto Fukasawa. The first time I saw it I thought it was an exhaust fan because it hangs flat against the wall with a white circular face and a pull cord. You insert a disc, pull the cord, and the disc spins visibly behind the transparent cover while music plays from a built-in speaker. Sound quality is thin compared to proper speakers. Watching a disc rotate while listening is hypnotic unlike pressing play on a phone. Power cord runs to a wall outlet, and the unit weighs almost nothing. For $150 it's more art object than audio equipment, but MUJI designed it to make the act of playing music into a physical gesture. The pull cord is the detail that holds the whole concept together.
