The Miniot 'Wheel' vinyl record player is designed with an aesthetic that makes it seem almost magical when in operation thanks to the compact and minimalist aesthetic that it boasts.
Traditional record players work by placing the needle on top of the record in order to play the various tracks on it. The Miniot 'Wheel' takes a different approach by reversing the playing operation and playing tracks from the bottom instead of the top. This makes the spinning record look quite minimal and artistic, while still offering users the ability to enjoy the music.
The Miniot 'Wheel' vinyl record player hides the technological portions of the unit in the base to hide it from sight, prevent damage and even stop dust from infiltrating it.
