Vinyl FantasyJJ Boooth designs furniture for DJs, fine-tuned to the needs of audiophilesByJesse Dorris January 16, 2025Design, International (Courtesy JJ Boooth)SHAREWhen the designerJJ Booothwas first honing his mixing skills, he did it the way almost every DJ does: endless practice over turntables and a mixer perched atop the classic IKEA Expedit. It was just a nightmare to play bent over the turntable for hours, he toldAN Interior.He mounted the setup on legs, then recessed the turntables to further improve his DJ posture. That led to adding crates on the sides of the turntables to hold records, making them easily accessible, he explained. Later, I included lighting for playing at night. Boooth dug into his own training for this early demo: a 2015 graduate of ENSA Paris-Belleville, hed worked for years in various architecture studios and real estate developers. Having been good at making models, transitioning to furniture design felt like just a larger-scale project. By 2019, hed segued into his own eponymous firm, crafting cabinets like his Unit 010, an elegant yet functional monolith. The piece integrated wells for a pair of Techniques 1200s, a kind of rhomboid pitch for a Rodex mixer, as well as voids for records and below-deck storage.Read more on aninteriormag.com.
