The conceptual 'Dude Turntable' is a modern take on the antiquated technology that will provide design-conscious consumers with a way to seamlessly incorporate the unit into their space.
While traditional record players are quite bulky and take up quite a bit of floor space, this unit features a vertical design that leans against a wall to ensure that you can place it anywhere. The incorporated needle system effortlessly plays your favorite records, while the incorporated speaker ensures you don't need additional peripherals to play your favorite oldies or new age albums.
The 'Dude Turntable' is the design work of Minho Lee and DAWN, and identifies the increased popularity of vinyl records despite a shift towards more high-resolution digital options in recent years.
