33 1/3 record cabinet in a London living room

A contemporary cabinet for the ritual of listening - Limited Edition of 33

01 The object

One curve, closed without a visible break.

The shell is a single continuous curve: a flat sheet of plywood persuaded into a form that holds a turntable at the right height, an amplifier below it and records within reach. Nothing is hidden behind a door that has to be opened first.

The sliding top

A recessed finger pull sets the top panel moving. It slides flush, opening the deck without a hinge, a handle or a break in the line of the shell.

02 Material & craft

Birch ply, read as pattern and as construction.

Recycled birch plywood was chosen for how it bends and lasts, and for its layered edge - a fine striped rhythm that reads as pattern across the room and as construction up close. Nothing is veneered over or filled.
