Order your own vinyl records to have a corner, indeed a dedicated totem!

Today we want to talk to those who, like us, are passionate about music, and therefore collect records, CDs and vinyl.
We know that those who love music do not have half measures. There is not a real fan who owns a few records, so those who love vinyl do not own one, but collect ten, a hundred, a thousand!
Years ago, Pliny the Younger, entering a customer’s house, noticed how those who love to listen to music, or even make it, had piles of vinyl records and scores stacked on the ground or crammed into bookcases or closets.
It meant that when you wanted to listen to that record, you had to find it first!
Not to mention the fact that dust settles much more on horizontally stacked discs, but in a traditional bookcase or on a shelf, it is the only way to rest them.
So Plinio imagined a complement that could contain the disks in order to keep them in order, stacked vertically, but at the same time they could always be at hand.
This is how Totem was born, the solid oak wood bookcase formed by cube-shaped overlapping modules. Totem is an open bookcase, because it is open on 4 sides, but not only. It has thin rods that you can easily move from side to side and that allow you to take what is stored in the cube with ease.
Moreover, being open on all four sides, it allows you to always see what is contained.
Even the measurements are not random. The module that Plinio designed is 32 cm, both in width and depth, and in height. This is because Totem was created to contain vinyl records and music scores, which have a dimension that never matches those of bookstores, made to hold books for reading.
Totem, which you can compose with two, four, six modules up to a height of two meters, is the perfect disco for those who love to collect records, to have them always at hand and without sacrificing the order of the house.

Every time Pliny the Younger has thought and designed a new piece of furniture, he has always done so starting from the real needs of the house.
It’s true, behind our furniture there is a lot of philosophy, such as attention to ecology and natural methods that we still use today, but our furniture is born to be lived, used in homes today and tomorrow.
