33⅓ cabinet in a London flat, holding an Akai turntable and Technics amplifier between two speakers

33⅓

A contemporary cabinet for the ritual of listening.

01 The object

One form, two functions.

Records and playback live within a single sculptural body: a continuous curved plywood shell, an open surface for turntable and amplifier above, sliding access to the collection below.

Everything the ritual asks for sits within one movement of the hand.

02 The curve

Form follows the ritual.

A single curve wraps the piece from the upper surface down and around, closing the form without a visible break.

Sweeping away from the front opens a generous mouth to the records and the machine, so the whole ritual happens in the open rather than behind a door. Modelled, machined and laminated over purpose-made formers — engineered so the finished piece can stop explaining itself.

03 Material

Plywood, deliberately exposed.

Recycled birch plywood, chosen for how it bends, holds and lasts — and for its layered edge, pattern from across the room and construction up close. Nothing is veneered over or filled.

04 The ritual
  1. Choose

    A hand moves across the spines.

  2. Slide

    The storage opens.

  3. Place

    The record meets the platter.

  4. Listen

    The needle drops.

Four movements, in the same square metre of a room.

06 Studio

Dan Clutterbuck

A young London studio working between industrial design, digital fabrication and the bench. The work is material-led: testing how far a sheet will bend, and where a process leaves a mark worth keeping.

33⅓ is the first piece released under the studio name.
