Record Cushions by Dark Dog Studio

Record

Dark Dog Studio is the work of designer/maker Hannah Galvin-Horne, producing both fabric and cushions, the latter including these Record Cushions.

The reasoning behind the name is pretty self-explanatory – each of the hnadmade, handprinted cushions features images of vintage vinyl 45s, offered in different sizes and with different colour options for the trim.

The cushions are printed on 100% cotton duck canvas and they come with a 100% duck feather cushion pad. The front of the cushion features the print, while the back of the cushion is dyed in a corresponding colour to the print. All are made to order, so expect a little wait, with prices around the £68 mark.

Wood Turntable at Urban Outfitters

Wood

It's made (partly) of wood and it's a turmtable, making this the Wood Turntable at Urban Outfitters.

Of course, it's not all wood – there's some plastic too, not to mention the electrics to make the thing tick. Switch it on and you can playback good old-fashioned vinyl at 33/45/78, as well as accessing AM/FM radio, all through the built-in speakers or headphones plugged into the jack.

It retails online for $88. If you like the look, but want a deck for using with your PC, there's also a USB version available for $128.

As you can see, these are original vintage 45s, presumably the ones no-one really wants (don't expect some rare soul for example), moulded into a 'perfect bookend shape' to support your book collection.

Available online, they retail for £20.

eBay watch: 1970s Philips 22GF113 Playsound portable record player

Philips

As the recent Record Store Day showed, there's still a demand for vinyl, which also means a demand for players. Especially when they look as good as this Philips 22GF113 Playsound portable record player.

Dating back to the 1970s (you probably guessed that bit), it's a classic portable record player, offering battery or mains playback, three speeds (33, 45 or 78) and able to fold up as a case with integrated handle or fold out to playback your slabs of plastic.

The one here is described as being in 'very good above-average condition', with a rare green lid contrasting the white body. £34.99 is the current top bid.
