Let’s not waste words here, as a music-lover, UK-based company Tunetables gets a big thumbs up. What are they, you might well ask? Well let me tell you: Tunetables’ designs are based on the classic music-equipment flight-cases that we’ve all seen been lugged round by roadies all over the world. Based on that design, Tunetables fashion fantastic-looking functional tables which also serve as excellent storage and display units for your precious record collection, be it tape, CD or vinyl. These are glass-topped tables which and made by hand and come with unique markings. I mean, they look great, and more to the point they definitely work as record-storage.
If you listen to Tunetables head honcho, Rob Chappelhow, you’ll get an idea of how much love and thought has gone into this project.
Rob had his epiphany while attending the Joe Strummer exhibition at Covent Garden. These are Rob’s own words: Set out under an acrylic plinth was Strummer’s personal tape cassette collection…his musical heritage and inspiration perfectly showcased. It was totally spellbinding. I soon started to conceptualise how I could create my own version of this…a personal time capsule of life-affirming music. I wanted something that could be inherently useful, something that I would see and use every day, and that would be a talking point for like-minded music enthusiasts.”
You don’t have to take my word for it – why not head over to the Tunetables website and see for yourself!
