Textile house Lelièvre Paris works in collaboration with technologists La Boite concept to highlight the LX Turntable. It is a special edition turntable that is covered with two different fabric options without disrupting the hi-fi system's functions. The fabrics stem from a French style starting off with Hera, which is a fabric that has graphic dual tonal geometric patterns.
It boasts rosewood to bring forth a labyrinth feel to the design. The second option is dubbed the Riga fabric -- it is a sport and chunky design with dark green tones in the form of premium corduroy materials. The dense feel embodies a textural visual with its supple look. The turntable itself has a carbon arm tipped with the Ortofon OM10 cartridge.
