London based designer John Tree and Santa Barbara aluminium specialist (and long-term Wallpaper* collaborator) Alex Rasmussen of Neal Feay have joined forces to create the Light Touch Turntable.
The pair drew from their individual experiences with sound technology (Rasmussen as manufacturer of high end hi fi aluminium components, and Tree as a designer at Sony) to create the turntable. ‘[Working at Sony] gave me exposure to a lot of advanced tech and a specialism in bringing it to the market in a relevant way,’ says Tree, whose experience also includes working as a designer at Jasper Morrison’s studio. ‘Often new technology requires a familiar reference, which is something this project explores.’
