Custom Vinyl Record Cabinet in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville
Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville · 2023 · Oak and fraké
This custom vinyl record cabinet project in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville addressed a specific need: creating a functional, durable and elegant piece of furniture for storing, browsing and showcasing a vinyl record collection.
Client’s needs
The client was looking for a vinyl record cabinet inspired by high-end storage systems, with particular attention to accessibility and ergonomics. A piece like this should not only look good: it must make it easy to organize, handle and browse records without damaging them or making access uncomfortable.
Choice of materials
Oak and fraké were selected to create a piece that is both solid and visually nuanced. Oak provides a stable structure and a classic presence, while fraké adds contrast and interesting grain character. Two complementary woods well suited to custom interior joinery.
Design approach
Grooves were integrated to display favourite records or albums currently being played without disrupting the cabinet’s overall organization. In a custom vinyl record cabinet, these details shape the quality of everyday use: how records are placed, browsed and integrated into the room.
Result
A piece that is both utilitarian and architectural. It gives the collection a clear place while remaining consistent with a carefully designed residential interior. The combination of oak and fraké creates an understated, warm and durable finish.
What this project demonstrates
This project illustrates the value of custom joinery for specific uses. A good piece of furniture does not simply respond to dimensions: it responds to a way of living, storing and handling objects every day.
