45 Audio Station

Designed for a club owner a while ago, the “45 Audio Station” by Chicago-based designer Christian Castro is a DJ table with an integrated vinyl case to rock the dance floor. The name “45” has a dual meaning derived from the 45 record speed and the design’s resemblance to a handgun. The audio station is made of epoxy, concrete and steel, materials dictated by the design and a turntable’s operational requirement of no movement or vibration. Furthermore, the vertical element of the design is cast concrete connected to the horizontal element, which is made of molded foam. Both the vertical and horizontal elements are coated in glossy resin. The horizontal element is ridged and light, while the vertical element is heavy and immobile. The entire unit is bolted through the club floor.

2. Be your own DJ

Sound Space Interaction

Imagine yourself in a party where the environment is so boring, with no happening songs being played and everyone is looking at each other’s faces in boredom. Just the thought of it makes your shudder, right? Well, then fret no more, for designer Andrew Volpe has come up with an ingenious idea for being your own DJ. Dazed.

Make your own music right from your table, while competing with the songs played by the others. The speakers have been encompassed in the table itself, making you the king of your table. Have a battle of songs with the people seated at the other tables, and make your songs heard. That’s how the game is played. Keeping in mind a competitive spirit, you can weave musical notes in and around yourself.

Keeping in mind how one tends to shy away from strangers, the idea was conceived. By the constant interaction with your peers, you can engross yourself in a musical cocoon, while at the same time meet new people and enjoy yourself to the fullest. Play the most recent song on the list and choose from a vast variety of music lists; there is absolutely everything for everyone.

Though I am not qualified as a designer or as an artist from any art college, I am actually a design freak. Having an eye for fine, fresh designs, I am always on a hunt to locate some real beautiful stuff. And today I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to show a master fusion of design and music into glorified DJ Desks. While these may not be the best of the genre, they certainly have an attitude to them. Metrofarm, a German based company, has designed and built several high end DJ desks over the years. They feature a range of desks that are built using a variety of materials and finishes, and are custom made to the technical specifications of their clients.

With loads of companies swearing by their high-tech furniture, this comprehensive line of active desks is designed to deliver both power and quality sound. I am wowed by the funky Neon orange painted wooden DJ desk attached directly to the wall. Also the black painted wooden desk is elegant to the core. Roll over to pour over more images of these desks.

Some may prefer the one legged wooden DJ desk or a classy veneered one, while others may fall in love with the shiny stainless steel DJ desk. Howeve the one with concrete legs and linoleum middlepart is a bit tough to admire.
