The conceptual 'Rotor' vinyl record player has been designed by William Fairington as an industrial audio solution for today's consumer to enjoy their favorite LPs in a decidedly modern way.
The record player features a round design that calls to mind the aesthetic of an electric vehicle motor, which is further reinforced with a series of bare metal finishes and linear repetition. A vinyl record can be comfortably positioned in the top-middle for play and finishes off the balanced aesthetic of the stark player.
The conceptual 'Rotor' vinyl record player helps to elevate audio equipment aesthetics and perceptions given the existing nature of their design. This relates to the increased popularity of vinyl records as of late, but also how they're often played on old-fashioned equipment from yesteryear.
