Furniture for vinyl records made in Barcelona
The notches in our furniture are used to be able to pull the drawers without the need for a handle, and to be able to pick up the records when they are with their spines, and the most important thing is that they do not cover the disc biscuit or the cover.
YOUR RECORDS FACE THE FRONT NOT STACKED SIDEWAYS
The best way to look at records is from the front in the classic milk crate. Many records do not have the name on the spine and that's why record stores arrange them in bins. At Vinylum we design the furniture using the record store approach so that each record is easier to find.
MATERIAL
Although we can also make our furniture with any solid wood on request, we make them with birch plywood board, since it offers greater physical qualities to withstand the weight of your records for many years. Our process is sustainable, we use less energy so we are helping to preserve the planet. So using plywood board we reduce our carbon footprint and fight against global warming.
FINISH
Each piece of furniture is sanded, assembled and varnished by hand. We apply a wood protector for exteriors before varnishing them, with this we get that the wood is protected from the inside for as long as it protects your record collection. Then we give it a varnish so that it is protected against bumps and scratches which leaves it silky smooth to the touch. We only use solvent-free water-based products, so our products more environmentally friendly
HANDMADE
The entire process: sanding, varnishing and assembly is completely artisanal.

How many vinyl records do you think were sold in Spain in 2020? Nothing more and nothing less than 1.2 million, and that there was a pandemic involved. And in other countries, such as the United States, sales increased by 108% compared to the previous year, managing to sell 19.2 million records.
But… how many of these vinyl records will be in a safe place, keeping intact? We do not have figures for this, although it is certain that they are not all that have been sold. Here’s what you can do to be one of those people who stores their records properly and preserves sound quality forever.
This online store for vinyl records is a design studio based in Barcelona that specializes in commercial interior design, furniture design (which is functional, sustainable, made from natural and eco-friendly woods) and carpentry.
As if all these reasons weren’t enough to trust us with the good care of your vinyl records, it should be noted that we combine design, creativity, innovative materials and excellent finishes, and we work using the most innovative design techniques. For example, CNC cutting or parametric design, all combined with manual and artisan carpentry work.

A UNIT holds 80 discs, but you can give it the size and shape that you like the most by joining several until you have your perfect shelf.

In this cabinet for vinyl there is more space than in the previous ones, and take special care that the search for records is easy, since you only have to look at the covers to find the vinyl you are looking for. In addition, the space of this piece of furniture is such that you can store the turntable and the amplifier in the upper part.
How to clean vinyl records? While it is true that what is really important is that the records are well stored, for example in the furniture for vinyl music that we have mentioned before, a minimum cleaning must be taken into account that will guarantee their good condition.
You have to be careful when handling the discs, avoiding grabbing the grooved surface with your fingers. Always touch the labeled part or the edge. Otherwise, it may be damaged and eventually negatively affect the quality of the disc.
You can also follow two cleaning methods. Dry, which consists of dry brushing before and after use. And wet cleaning, which is recommended to be carried out from time to time and can be done either by hand or with a specialized machine. If you want to know more about these methods and how to properly clean vinyl records, here we expand.
In conclusion, we can say that the care of vinyl records is essential. Not only so that they look pretty, but also so that they do not lose the quality of the sound that makes them so special. To do this, we can clean them properly, how and when needed, and with the right products.
But it is also important where and how we place them. This is what Vinylum Warehouse’s handmade turntable and vinyl cabinets are for, where they will be vertical (placing them horizontally is criminal, and even more so if we stack them on top of each other), safely stored and it will be easy to locate each of the records . Its vintage finishes are combined with the most innovative techniques and the latest materials, to give the room a most elegant touch.
