The first product in the collaboration is the Technics [SL-40CBT turntable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/technics-sl40cbt) that's obsessed in an oxblood color with a matte deep profile, while featuring dependable functionality thanks to the direct-drive motor system. The turntable also features Bluetooth and an intuitive control panel. The collaboration features the Kaiser Idell lamp up next as a nod to the Bauhaus design original by Christian Dell from 1935 and pays homage to it on its 90th anniversary. The Technics x Fritz Hansen collaboration will go on sale starting in October 2026, but will see the turntable limited to 300 units and the lamp to 200 units worldwide.
