Sruli Recht: Editions Heavy Metal

Design

The Heavy Metal record stand is the latest release from Sruli Recht’s ongoing project, Editions. Structurally influenced by anti-tank defense obstacles, Recht alludes to the selective amnesia of a child and the healing power of the soul through music. The object, composed of laser cut steel folded using a hydraulic press then finished with acid and wax which delivers the gun black tone, stores approximately 150 LP’s.
