Part bookcase, part record rack and part piece of functional folk art, this is certainly not your average shelving unit. The square tower-like construction features open storage compartments on all four sides , many of which are perfectly proportioned for 12-inch vinyl records and LPs . Records can be displayed face-on or stored together within the individual cubbies, making this a particularly fun alternative to conventional record storage. Its most distinctive feature is undoubtedly the top. Bright blue castellated sides wrap around the upper platform, transforming the entire piece into an oversized architectural castle tower. Combined with the vivid red side panels and exposed timber edging, it has a playful Postmodern / Memphis-inspired feel despite appearing to have been individually handmade rather than commercially produced. At just 60 × 60 cm, it also provides a surprising amount of accessible storage from a relatively compact footprint. Positioned centrally in a room, the shelving can be approached from multiple sides, making it particularly effective as a freestanding vinyl library, record-store display, bookcase or room divider . A genuine one-off for someone who likes their furniture a little less sensible.
