The 'RE; Retro Player' concept is a modern piece of equipment for enjoying media that draws design inspiration from equipment from yesteryear. The unit calls to mind phonograph players from the past, but maintains an ultra-modern form that integrates a digital display and compact body into the design. The unit is positioned with a relatively substantial frame construction to hold the equipment in place and make it more of a statement piece for the modern home or office.
The 'RE; Retro Player' concept is the design work of Ha lim Kim, Park JooHyung, Ryukyung Lee and YoonJeong Lee, and could also be mounted on a wall to accommodate different preferences. The unit responds to the increasing resurgence of vinyl record media.
