#Turntable concept is a vinyl player and side table in one

I am not the most organized person and also I have too much stuff. I also don’t have unlimited space so there is clutter everywhere in my apartment. A lot of things that have a certain function become unintentionally multi purpose because I just need more places to put my other stuff. So a TV cabinet becomes a bookshelf and my sofa becomes a storage area for my stationery stuff. I like it when there are pieces that can be used as storage and tables as well even if their original purpose is not really for that.

Turntable is a record player that plays not just into people’s love for vintage/retro/analog but also anything that’s multi purpose. Aside from the fact that it can play your vinyl records, it can also serve as a side table where you can place light objects. And since it’s very prettily designed, it can also be part of your room’s decoration or aesthetic. It also has a built-in speaker and an integrated battery so you can easily move it around the room or house wherever you want to play some music while entertaining guests or just relaxing on your own.

It has a tripod-style base so you get stability for the turntable as well as giving it a visually appealing look. At the top, you have a 12″ vinyl player with the speaker and battery underneath it. It has a wooden base as well as a molded plastic box that can protect the audio components. It has a transparent acrylic top so you can still show off the beautiful turn table. Since it has a flat surface, you can use it as a side table where you can place light objects on it. It’s transparent so they will not obstruct the view of the main character (the turntable) but you can also display some other objects. The emphasis of course is on light since you don’t want the acrylic top to eventually break.

Amuni Studio actually collaborated with local manufacturers in Toronto to create this beautiful and somehow multi-functional Turntable. This freestanding unit was actually submitted to Umbra’s Purpose Play Exhibition and won several awards during Toronto Design Week. It doesn’t seem to have been turned into an actual product since then which is a shame since it’s a pretty interesting kind of turn table that people like me who like multi-purpose things will find appealing.
