iPods, early iPhones, and MacBooks are objects that will always fascinate us, sparking nostalgia rooted in the early days of Apple technology. Drought, a collective of American designers, taps into this sentiment with iMirror, a mirror inspired by the tech aesthetics of the early 2000s. Last year, the designers had already explored the golden age of the internet through a collaboration with Napster — one of the first peer-to-peer file-sharing platforms that revolutionized how people accessed music online. Now that iMirror is back in production, let’s take a closer look at what it offers.

Standing at five feet tall, this full-body mirror features a design inspired by the iPod Nano. Available in six different colors — blue, green, silver, red, pink, and purple — it faithfully recreates the structure of Apple’s iconic music player, which has been out of production for many years, and is priced at $375. The iPod Nano’s circular remote is positioned at the bottom in its classic white color, with the upper function replaced by Drought’s logo.


Each color variant displays a song titled Find Yourself, with the upper screen showing the phrase Now Living and the back decorated with iReflect alongside Drought’s logo. It’s a curious piece that reminds us of the impact of early 2000s tech aesthetics, and we hope to see it reinterpreted in other forms.
