The turntable is a passion project and highlights Ive's admiration of [classic design and intricate audiophile elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bang-olufsen-beosystem-3000c). The retro turntable is made with a slight tweak of details and updates for the better. Ive notes to Fast Company that “We saw a number of areas where there could be small improvements and gentle evolutions of the current design." What came into fruition after a year of co-developing between Linn and [LoveFrom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sailing-lantern) was a newly redesigned look defined by smoothed edges and plastic hinges that have been added to replace the metal hinges. It also has a plastic rocker power button done in a circle shape now.
