The Wrensilva Standard One is a modern take on a furniture classic. With so much music stored in tiny digital packages today, it's easy to forget the physical space that a substantial record collection required in the past. Vinyl is making a resurgence, though, and the Wrensilva Standard One has rejuvenated the vinyl cabinet as a result.
Though owning an entire piece of furniture specifically for music seems odd by today's standards, vinyl cabinets were once living room staples. The furnishings included space to hold records, a slot for the record player, and speakers. The Wrensilva Standard One includes all these features, and modernizes them by adding a Bluetooth connection through aptX. This lets consumers add more speakers into the system remotely.
