The Conceptual 'BEOFUSION' Record Player is Future-Ready

— February 8, 2019 — Tech
Vinyl records have once again become a mainstream medium amongst consumers seeking out a more time-honored way to enjoy their favorite music, so the conceptual 'BEOFUSION' record player has been designed with this in mind.

Created with a Bang & Olufsen-inspired aesthetic, the record player sports a modern interpretation of old-fashioned standalone music player solutions. Connectivity capabilities means users can stream music from their online account from the same unit for a unified entertainment experience that is ready for use today and the future.

The conceptual 'BEOFUSION' record player is the design work of Hanyeon Lee and features an aesthetic that will fit in perfectly with the other modern solutions within a living space. The discreet design could also be integrated into a workplace as a nod to both the past and present.
