Today, 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.

In [CASE STUDY - 01], we built 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 down and routed 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 by utilizing their quintessential Amate paper, a reoccurring theme throughout their natural light installations.

Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or playing for a small crowd, this natural light source establishes an inherently human connection around the room. 

As living rooms grow smaller by the day, we increasingly like to think of this piece as a contemporary fireplace... or perhaps the future grand piano. 

In the short term, our goal is to design a foundational furniture piece for the traditional vinyl DJ. 

In the long run, our hope is to provide a versatile catalogue of furniture parts that work together and allow customers to outfit their spaces with the appropriate musical attire.

This endeavor first took shape over a year ago. Since then, we focused an incredible attention to detail as we try to solve some of the most simple, yet painstakingly common problems for a 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 next track is playing? How do you organize those six — sometimes more — power cables to look aesthetically pleasing? And most importantly, where do you put your wine glass while chatting with a friend or foe?

We’ll show you. 

*[CASE STUDY - 01] will be on display at Ysasi Studio starting Saturday, June 21. Please email office@pomotect.com if you’re interested in purchasing [CASE STUDY - 02] and beyond.
