MUSICAL FURNITURE by Postmodern Tectonics x Casa Ysasi

Postmodern Tectonics and Casa Ysasi are proud to announce the launch of [MUSICAL FURNITURE] — a collaborative design project centered on building furniture pieces that serve a musical purpose.

Our first piece, [CASE STUDY - 01], is a plywood credenza that is simple in form, simple in construction, and has a scientific attention to proportions, tuned primarily for one variable: vinyl disk jockeying.

Cut from five sheets of AB Marine Grade Plywood, this piece was ideated around the concept of the "hearth" — the focal point in a space of gathering, centered around a warm, fiery glow. Casa Ysasi elegantly installed the "fire" that brings this piece to life, utilizing traditional Amate paper, a quintessential material used in their light sculptures.

We like to think of this piece as a contemporary fireplace.

We have focused an incredible attention to detail as we try to solve some of the most simple, yet painstakingly persistent problems for a vinyl DJ behind the booth…

Where do you put your headphones when you look for that next record? 

Where do you put your record sleeve while that track is playing? 

How do you organize the six — sometimes more — power cables to look aesthetically pleasing? 

And most importantly, where do you put your wine glass or beer without spilling?

We’ll show you.

Made to order in Los Angeles.

Lead time ~ 4 - 6 weeks from purchase.
