Zen Garden Turntable Equipment

The 'Whiteout' DJing Equipment Has a Tranquil, Minimalist Design

The conceptual 'Whiteout' DJing equipment has been designed as a different kind of turntable gear that would offer DJs a new way to perform sets that draws inspiration from a traditional Japanese aesthetic.

Looking like a digital interpretation of a Zen garden, the turntable draws on the two main characteristics of the garden space including circulation and repetition. The detachable knobs and faders observed on the system look like small pebbles and stones one might find in a well-kept garden, and further enhance the user's ability to get started with the practice instead of feeling overwhelmed.

The conceptual 'Whiteout' DJing equipment is the design work of Byoung Hoon Woo and Su hyun Bang, and is the winner of the Grand Prize at the 2019 K-Design Awards.
