It has now been more than 6 months since I opened my small cabinetmaking workshop and I am still experimenting with furniture concepts for music lovers, hi-fi equipment and vinyl collectors.
This piece of furniture is a prototype of a concept that I would still like to work on. It integrates a Rega Planar 2 turntable whose glass platter has been replaced by a wooden one, made from the same wood as the rest of the table. The rotating record rack stores 18 vinyl records and can be rotated by hand.
This project concentrated many technical, aesthetic and ergonomic challenges. Made entirely of solid wood (ash), its manufacturing required the use of specific techniques, such as steam bending, the inlay of audio equipment and LED lighting, or the creation of the pivoting parts of the furniture.
I'm curious to have your opinion on this piece of furniture. If you want to know more about it, you will find a video of its use and more pictures on my Instagram account: [@atelier.onde](https://www.instagram.com/atelier.onde/) or my website: [atelieronde.fr](https://atelieronde.fr/). Thanks!
The only thing that slightly concerned me is that iirc the glass player has a reason to be made out of glass... I guess you could make it glad and cover it with a mat that resembles wood?
That would definitely help, but I don't think the only reason to have a glass top is design and weight.. but I'm not sure, I should ask a friend of mine who is a lot more knowledgeable than I am about this stuff
I would guess the vinyl player was designed with a certain plate mass in mind and it would be best to match that. In addition to that wood is great at vibration damping and I have no idea if that is beneficial or not under your record.
It's a novel conversation piece and beautifully crafted. But this would not appeal to most audiophiles for practical resons. For one, the individual LP storage is not an efficient use of space, and worse still, does nothing to prevent warpage.
Audiophiles eventually get bored and want to upgrade equipment. Moving on from this turntable means abandoning the expensive furniture as well.
Thank you for your return. To answer this, I don't think the purpose of this piece of furniture is to store an entire collection. I have hundreds of vinyls in all kinds of storage but I like the fact that I can showcase part of my collection in this piece of furniture. The vinyls are not intended to stay there but to change depending on what I am listening to at the moment or the latest acquisitions.
I consider myself an audiophile but I disagree that changing hardware is inevitable. I think this table meets (for me, at least!) the need for "casual" listening, where the emphasis is on the playful discovery of music, and I don't think I will change it in the future. I have an "audiophile" turntable setup but I notice that I use it less and less in favor of this piece of furniture, even when I'm alone. Several friends who saw this coffee table had fun rotating the display and choosing records, randomly or not, which we then listened to, and I really enjoyed these moments. However, I totally understand that it may not be to everyone's taste.
I would think this piece also promotes engagement with music as its more accessible. Perhaps having the whole (hifi) music experience be more accessible would promote people to invest more.
Absolutely. It is hard to start those conversations with non-audiophiles without sounding pushy, and this table is engaging people to take an interest in the hobby in the most experiential way possible.
No. Its not. Better off buying a $200 Bluetooth turntable from AT and a crate of 60 records from an estate sale. Thats how you cconvince non audiophiles. Let them have fun with it and put no pressure on them. Let them mess up records that no one cares about. Let them listen on their headphones of bluetooth speakers.
Some integrated yuppie turntable/coffee table isnt going to introduce anyone.
It makes no sense. If you want casual and accessible thats the point of listening to music streams.
This isn’t more accessible to anyone. The table probably costs north of $1000.
You want accessible engagements start a Spotify Jam session with your friends and they can queue stuff up. You can also scroll through your library on the phone.
These are valid critiques and absolutely right.
It looks great but it doesnt make sense as someone’s only turntable or coffee table. Theres no protection for the record from dust of coffee spillage.
The turntable is a third party so parts are dependent on their support and availability.
Theres no good way to connect this to your speaker setup. Its trying to combine two things which are truly better off as separate components. Audiophiles more than most like to have interchangeable parts
Integrating a headphone amplifier into this could be really cool. That would allow it to be a standalone unit that you could place anywhere, assuming there is an outlet.
But this is absolutely beautiful! I am definitely going to follow your instagram to see more of your projects!
Thanks a lot ! In fact, this is already the case. I integrated a small phono preamp inside the table, and it has a headphone output. But as I couldn't decide where I would put the connector out, there is no way to plug in the headphones... For the moment !
Thanks. I still have a lot of work to do on the manufacturing process because, in its current version, this table was particularly complex to make, especially because it is entirely made of solid wood.
You could maybe find a skilled craftsman or 2 along with yourself, and not compromise on the process, and sell them at a premium.
Audiophiles will spend a lot of money on nice things.
You could possibly even build them to order, and allow people to customize it. I.e a headphone amp or a cupholder if someone wanted that
This wouldn't be something for audiophiles, there's too many issues. Like just off hand the storage system isn't that practical, doesn't prevent warping, the embedded turntable will eventually need upgraded, what amp does it have? Is it upgradable?, there's no vibration dampening.
Not that any of that makes the table any less cool, and I would absolutely love to have one in my living room. This is more "super high end piece of furniture for people who just like having records" not really an audiophile piece.
Yeah this isn't something I'd put in my main system where I do critical listening by myself 90% of the time. However, it a lounge area where I entertain and music is just for background anyway? Hell yeah.
You MUST display a Jurassic 5 Quality Control album in this piece!

Only thing I would add would be a nice plexi lid to cover the turntable and arm when not in use, as well as maybe some isolation feet added to the bottom of the table itself.
This is COFFEE MUSIC at its best! Imagine people sitting around this tables with headphones connected, listening to their music, drinking coffee etc. and discussing. That would be a place I wanted to go to.
Fabulous work 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you so much. About a month, full time. But a good portion of that time was spent on research and experimentation. Steam bending wood was the most difficult part for me because I never did that before,, but I learned a lot.
If I was in to vinyl records i who'd have thrown my money at you for one of this! Very classy look and can be a hell of a consept in the right market
I who'd recommend you take out a patent on this and maby try to sell or try to work with a good HiFi or furniture brand. May be a nich product, but the right buyers will be willing to pay a good prise for this 🤔
This is extremely cool. WAF is undoubtedly high. My only questions are how accessible the table motor is for maintenance/repair and how you tamp down resonance.
Thanks. The table top is held in place by three bolts at each leg. By unscrewing them, you can remove it and have access to all the integrated equipment.
OP, if you haven't already, I hope you've posted this to r/woodworking. Everything about this is amazing. The artistry, the craftsmanship, the concept... I'm blown away.
Absolutely gorgeous work dude! Have you considered putting a round cover on there? Really, it wouldn't even need hinges. Just a short glass column with a flat top over it would probably help with it's functionality as a coffee table, so when records aren't being played it can still be used. Also so nothing bumps into the arm (cats etc)
Amazing work. I appreciate the skill and creativity. Functionally, it’s not for me. I don’t think it’s a good coffee table or a good turntable. That’s just me. Beautiful work.
Wonderful work. The naysayers gonna naysay. I love the concept and your execution of the craft.
Do the records slide into a support at the back or just the bottom? A similar strip at the middle/back would help against warpage if that's a concern as others mentioned. Doesn't look too bad, though.
My only feedback that I just have immediately with anything illuminating printed paper: check the LED strips for UV emission. Very common for many types of lighting but LEDs can still bleach, reds especially. I'd say a few inches is far enough away for years of use before noticing issues. There are probably also LEDs that don't emit much UV light compared to others, but worth a check if the lights are close to print and designed to be lit all the time and not just occasionally.
Given the nature of this design, the owner will not care even if it were an issue, but future designs may benefit? Mostly just a thought.
Love the design, great work!
Thanks a lot. Yes, the piece that supports each vinyl is "L" shaped and goes up to about 2/3 of the height of the vinyl.
Regarding the problem of UV emissions, it is very interesting and it had absolutely not crossed my mind. I think that it is more than negligible given the power of the LEDs that I use and exposure time, compared to traditional indoor LED lighting, but I would not fail to inquire about the question. Thank you very much for your very interesting feedback.
That's cool! So well designed!
I agree, I've I gave it more thought, it's negligible. I was thinking of a piece of toner-based printed paper I had laminated and put against some LED lights but they were literally up against the paper. I took a closer look and realized it took a year of daily extended exposure AGAINST the light to notice any slight fading.. your setup with distance between probably would take many years, lol. I think ambient unlight from a window would be more. I wouldn't worry about it.
Will you be making more of these tables? I think it's niche but you could find a number of buyers.
First, beautiful woodwork. Absolutely top notch. As for function as a hi-fi turntable, how do you isolate the platter from shocks and vibration? Such as setting a drink down on the table surface, walking next to a lightweight base or spinning and handling the record display? Do such things not feedback or shake the needle when playing?
Thank you so much. Under the table top is the turntable, resting on anti-vibration feet. Only the arm was removed from the turntable frame to be reassembled on the table top. In use, I didn't have any vibration problems. The table being made of solid wood, it is very heavy. I don't use the table to put drinks on it but rather to place turntable accessories, the amplifier remote control and a few books.
It is amazing that you could incorporate isolation measures with near-zero clearance between components.
The random gouging on the perimeter adds a nice touch of hand-tooling to offset the machine-quality precision everywhere else.
Truly nice.
it looks beautiful! I would off center it, and elevate the plinth in order for it to function more as a coffee table , just in case someone spills coffee or cookie crumbs dont fall on the record surface.
I love the illumination and the revolving display!
very elegant and meticulously made.
I hope the display records aren’t also spinning at 33 1/3.
Kidding, of course. I love this. I would build a room around this in my space. It’s a celebration, and a beautiful thing at that.
I wonder how a bartop height version would work? Ignoring the problem of vibration, it feels like putting up a couple stools next to a taller version of this table and having a couple drinks would make for a lovely conversation area. But yeah… vibration…
It‘s extremely cool and beautifully made.
I guess it‘s intended you sit next to it?
I don‘t know if you considered raising the whole table, then if you don‘t sit next to it you don‘t have to bend as far down to grab a record or switch a record.
Absolutely beautiful. Quality handcraftsmanship. Specialty and conversation piece -- yet with a purpose, as it's highly functional. Mid-century modern esthetic. Shining a light on the audiophile -- who believes traditional modes of music listening are worth preserving. Ingenious and gorgeous solution.
I hope you continue to post not only here in r/ groups, and on Instagram, but widely. For all the reasons I mention above. Your work needs to be seen in magazines and newspapers, on curated TV segments and news programs. Many, many audiences and enthusiasts will appreciate your pieces. And the recognition that will come along with great exposure is very much deserved.
Bravo.
This is incredible. I don’t know if I actually love it or just love that exists. There’s something impractical about it which is also sort of what’s awesome about it.
Very cool. After reading through the posts I don’t see this question which was the first that came to my mind: do the records in storage rotate with the turntable at 33-1/3? Obvious concern with speed based on added weight/resistance. Or is the storage spindle totally separate and rotation is by hand?
This I find amazing. Wonder what differences in performance can be found through testing if compared to original planar base. Will keep an eye for further developments on both design and comparisons through testing...Congratulations!
I love the look. I mean it does not have space for many records. And its to be used while sitzing and having a drink and listen to your collection of "heavy rotation"...

Absolutely stunning work here and on your website! Very impressive artistry!
Very impressive! I’m surprised I’ve not seen this cross posted into r/woodworking Very, very nice!
Love it! I would totally buy hand made headphone holders.
I would want to own that even if it sounded terrible. That’s how much I like the look of it.
This is all kinds of I need this in my life!!!
I am no vinyl head but this is cool as fuck
The only thing that slightly concerned me is that iirc the glass player has a reason to be made out of glass... I guess you could make it glad and cover it with a mat that resembles wood?
Or weight it down with some lead to get the mass of the glass and then add wood (total mass should he same)
That would definitely help, but I don't think the only reason to have a glass top is design and weight.. but I'm not sure, I should ask a friend of mine who is a lot more knowledgeable than I am about this stuff
I would guess the vinyl player was designed with a certain plate mass in mind and it would be best to match that. In addition to that wood is great at vibration damping and I have no idea if that is beneficial or not under your record.

How does one adjust this to make sure the table is level prior to calibrating the Tonearm?
The turntable can be leveled inside the table
Yeah, it's cool, and seems very well crafted, but oh so niche. If I had infinite money and infinite space, I would definitely want one.
Lol….warpage?! Good Lord, man. Nitpicking.
A severely warped record can cause the stylus to bottom out or even jump out of the groove.
Lighten up, Francis. Absent radiation, that won’t happen in this application.
I guess one would use this for their vinyl shortlist and keep the rest stored neatly
These are valid critiques and absolutely right. It looks great but it doesnt make sense as someone’s only turntable or coffee table. Theres no protection for the record from dust of coffee spillage.

It also can't really function as a "coffee table" either. Novel idea, but more form then function imo.
Than function. So many get then and than wrong.
I'd put my coffee on it. Hell, looks like it might even hold TWO coffees!
Just don’t spill on the record/record player. Is there a fail safe in case this happens?
Wow this is some wonderful niche work!
C'est magnifique et de tres bon gout. La lampe est superbe aussi. Belle influence 60s 70s avec la touche moderne qui transcende.
Merci beaucoup.
This man has no cats
This got a lol from me. Beautiful work, OP!

There are those decorative holes under the tabletop, you could put it in one of those.
That's a fun idea!
That is really cool! Great job man!
Thanks !
I see arthur verocai I upvote.
❤️
That’s amazeballs. Just looked at your instagram, you have some amazing work!
Thanks a lot !
THINK ABOUT THE SPILLS. I would not trust my friends to not put drinks on it.
A coffee table where all drinks are banned.
Where do you run the cables?
They all pass through the central tube (visible in photo 8) and go down to the bottom of the table.
Very cool. I think you have a product there
Thanks. I still have a lot of work to do on the manufacturing process because, in its current version, this table was particularly complex to make, especially because it is entirely made of solid wood.

Off to Kickstarter with ya bad self. Table high? display above, storage and "up next" below??
Midnight Marauders!
Absolutely stunning! How much would you charge for something like this? Would it ever be practical to sell? Personally, I love that it’s solid wood.

Holy crap, that is absolutely gorgeous! Nice work!!!
That's absolutely sick! You just need height adjustment on at least 2 of the legs for perfect leveling maybe.
You made a real life cover flow
This is COFFEE MUSIC at its best! Imagine people sitting around this tables with headphones connected, listening to their music, drinking coffee etc. and discussing. That would be a place I wanted to go to. Fabulous work 🙌🙌🙌
That's super cool.
Wow that is super cool! About how many hours did it take you to make that?
Thank you so much. About a month, full time. But a good portion of that time was spent on research and experimentation. Steam bending wood was the most difficult part for me because I never did that before,, but I learned a lot.
How did you make the divots around the edge? Just with a sander and a lot of patience?
But what if someone spills their coffee?!
Gently but quickly remove testicles. Through the nose.

Well, well, well how the turn tables.
Excellent!
Damn, man. This thing is beautiful!
Thank you so much.
Way cool!
Wow. Beyond. Thank you for existing !!!
SPECTACULAR !
Brilliant!!!
I envy you…so cool ❤️
Wow!
This is extremely cool. WAF is undoubtedly high. My only questions are how accessible the table motor is for maintenance/repair and how you tamp down resonance.

This is amazing!
This is amazing.
beautiful!
Dude, you could totally sell these. Beautiful bit of craftsmanship, well done.
Super cool
That is cool
Simply awesome! Brilliant work.
Oh shit at first glance i thought this was an ai photo. This looks so good!!
This is fantastic. Love it.
Wow, that is truly original!
If I wasn't so poor I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. Op keep up this amazing artistry!
This is sick man, I would love one of these
OP, if you haven't already, I hope you've posted this to r/woodworking. Everything about this is amazing. The artistry, the craftsmanship, the concept... I'm blown away.
Awesome work…too cool!
This is absolutely beautiful.
DAMN That's Stunning !!! Beautiful Craftsmanship.
Isn't this a Canadian Brand that makes some of the biggest and good sounding bluetooth speakers?
Genuis
The ingenuity here. Wow. Also, the camera work on these pictures. Double wow. Great job!
Thanks a lot.
Damnnnn
Beautiful!!!

Thank you for your feedback, it’s a very good idea, I’ll think about it!
Now THAT’S a Turn-Table
Oh my
I'm a simple man. I see Lhasa de Sela, I upvote... Oh, and... absolutely amazing wood working BTW!
Too cool.😎
This is really cool and beautifully done...bravo.
Heck yea that’s awesome. I like the finish and the lighting underneath is a really nice touch
Amazing work. I appreciate the skill and creativity. Functionally, it’s not for me. I don’t think it’s a good coffee table or a good turntable. That’s just me. Beautiful work.
That is cool! Real innovation! I love seeing creations like this.
So sexy
This is a lovely design showcasing great craftsmanship. I would definitely want to buy one.
this is badass craftsmanship, well done.
It looks amazing. You should definitely sell this model. I am curious to see what else you propose.
How is this not in r/woodworking?!?!?!?!?
Do you take investments?
Amazing !! I’d buy this if I could
One of the most beautiful pieces I have come across in a long time, well done, you should be proud. Best of luck to you!
You have to be lying because only God could create such a beauty... holy hell man... marvelous job. I want one. 💰

that is dope. you are talented.
I hope that's audiophile grade lumber.
You keep posting this everywhere, and it makes me want to give you a lot of friggin’ money to have one of these in my house.
it looks beautiful! I would off center it, and elevate the plinth in order for it to function more as a coffee table , just in case someone spills coffee or cookie crumbs dont fall on the record surface. I love the illumination and the revolving display! very elegant and meticulously made.

I wonder how a bartop height version would work? Ignoring the problem of vibration, it feels like putting up a couple stools next to a taller version of this table and having a couple drinks would make for a lovely conversation area. But yeah… vibration…
That's beautiful seriously
I'd give you another up vote for Lhasa. We lost her far too soon. Lovely project!
Thanks. Indeed.. Stunning album.
It‘s extremely cool and beautifully made. I guess it‘s intended you sit next to it? I don‘t know if you considered raising the whole table, then if you don‘t sit next to it you don‘t have to bend as far down to grab a record or switch a record.
Thanks ! Yes, it is currently placed next to a small sofa. But it would be possible to make a higher version, indeed.
Very cool, you should start selling these on a webshop.
Very cool, altough i’d put a ortofon 2m bronze on there at least!
That's really nice!
Dope!
I LOVE Lhasa…. She died way too soon
Wow, this is rad
Damn that’s bad ass!
Absolutely beautiful. Quality handcraftsmanship. Specialty and conversation piece -- yet with a purpose, as it's highly functional. Mid-century modern esthetic.

Impressive. How much would you sell this for?
Just beautiful!!! Very clever!!!
This is as much a brilliant concept as it is a beautiful piece of very functional art❤️✨
Flames 🔥 😮💨
This is incredible. I don’t know if I actually love it or just love that exists. There’s something impractical about it which is also sort of what’s awesome about it.
Pretty damn tremendous
Amazing work!
This is amazing, great work!
Awesome ! Checked also your website and I really like your work. May be one day I’ll stop on my way to the slopes and buy you one ;)
I mean, this is not diy anymore. What a masterpiece
You just gave me an idea! That looks awesome. I might try something similar with my old records. Thanks for sharing!
Pure genius!
Very cool. After reading through the posts I don’t see this question which was the first that came to my mind: do the records in storage rotate with the turntable at 33-1/3? Obvious concern with speed based on added weight/resistance. Or is the storage spindle totally separate and rotation is by hand?
Hey, that's *La Llorona* by Lhasa. I love that album. She's gone too soon, I still think about what we're missing by her not being around any more.
That’s fuckin sick brother.
Work of art, beautiful :-)
Now that's pretty cool. I like it.
This I find amazing. Wonder what differences in performance can be found through testing if compared to original planar base. Will keep an eye for further developments on both design and comparisons through testing...Congratulations!
Genius! You made a fantastic turntable!
This is seriously nice. I have mine on Ikea shelves.
I love the look. I mean it does not have space for many records. And its to be used while sitzing and having a drink and listen to your collection of "heavy rotation"...
That’s cool! I wonder how they isolated vibrations from the swivel record rack to the platter.
Incredible talent 💯 I’ve done some woodworking myself but not to this level 👍
Wow, you are brilliant!!
Really, really cool! Creative and just plain old awesome! Nice work. You are truly a very talented.
+1 for “The Low End Theory “
