Many of Drought‘s designs are rooted in nostalgia, drawing inspiration from tech’s earlier days to reimagine a run of home goods and accessories. Last year, the design collective dipped into the golden age of the internet with a new Napster collab, presenting a bag, a candle, and a bracelet inspired by the platform’s interface. After initially releasing (and selling out) its Apple-inspired iMirror back in August, Drought is reviving the coveted conversation piece for a limited restock.

Standing at five feet tall, the iPod Nano-inspired design functions as a full-body mirror. Landing in six different colorways – blue, green, silver, red, pink and purple – the design emulates the exact structure of Apple’s now-discontinued portable media player and retails for $375 USD. The iPod Nano’s circular remote rests at the bottom in its classic white color, with the top function on the remote replaced to read “Drought.” The song playing on each of the six colorways is entitled “Find Yourself,” while the top of the screen reads “Now Living” and the backside “iReflect” alongside Drought’s logo.

Take a closer look at the Drought iMirror in the gallery above and expect just 200 units to be released at Drought’s official website (no password needed) this Friday, January 24 at 12 p.m. PST.
