“We should remember to play from time to time, for the sake of it, even if it distracts us from more serious work,” says Jack. That philosophy inspired this record player console. “The colorful circles are meant to represent the crackle of your favorite vinyl record or the bubbles in champagne,” he says. He used a mixture of stains and dyes for the darker sections of the case and blended shades of milk paint for the colors. The console has storage space for about 100 records in addition to the player and spare parts.
