The conceptual Old Future Turntable and Speaker has been designed by Keonwoo Lee as a stylish audio solution for the home or office that will work to provide audiophiles with a pleasing way to enjoy their favorite music.
The system draws design inspiration from the architecture of Seoul, Korea in the 1970s, which is evident with the building-like speaker on the side that further enhances the turntable unit. This works to pay homage to a bygone era of architecture as it supports the analog audio needs of users with a penchant for vinyl records.
The conceptual Old Future Turntable and Speaker is a somewhat Brutalist take on the classic record player that would work to enhance a space even when not in use.
