The perfect cabinet for record collectors

Best vinyl storage solution
Pär is particularly attached to his very first LP, Destroyer by American hard rock band KISS, "although the band has released better albums in the past," admits the music fan. He has an emotional attachment to a great many of his other treasures too. Certain albums awaken memories and remind him of experiences and concerts he went to. Over the years the Swede has collected more than 450 records covering all genres of music. "The main issue for collectors is the best way to store all the vinyl records. Of course you have to store them upright, but it's always been important to me to play my LPs, to access them from all sides and to be able to see the cover when looking for a specific album," explains the sales employee. Another important aspect is that the collection is close to the record player, which takes centre stage in the flat.
Small living areas call for space-saving solutions
Pär and his family moved from a house to a new flat so there was less space for them all. There was also less space for his hobby. However, Pär saw the opportunity to have a bespoke storage solution fitted into his home. "The design is based on my larder unit in the kitchen, which has individual drawers and can be easily accessed from all sides," says Pär and adds: "There are no doors because I wanted to put the spotlight on my records."

Pär looked to the larder unit in the kitchen as a model for his record cabinet. He wanted to design an equally practical and space-saving solution for his LPs.
Suitable products:
Harmonious composition
"I discussed the 'basic laws' with my cabinet maker. He racked his brains and came up with a solution that fits beautifully into our living room and goes well with the design of our other furniture," says Pär, explaining the planning procedure. The cabinet solution comes in all heights, widths and depths so the cabinet maker designed the record cabinet to fit into the space right next to the record player and blend discreetly into the living room.

Easy access
The bespoke record cabinet was made in no time. Pär's requirements are met by six drawers that open individually (Blum's in silk white), installed in a cabinet without a door. "I have instant access to all my records and can use my own system to organise them. Unlike other vinyl collectors, I don't keep my LPs in alphabetical order. Sometimes I organise them by band, sometimes by title and sometimes by theme," confides the father-of-two.

The LEGRABOX inner pull-out goes perfectly with the design of the record cabinet. Just like the SPACE TOWER larder unit in his kitchen, Pär simply opens the right drawer and can easily access the record from all three sides without having to bend down or hunt for what he is looking for.
