Organise your vinyl in style with handmade wood record dividers from Kate Koeppel Design San Francisco-based designer Kate Koeppel’s stunning handcrafted record dividers make a great gift for any vinyl collector and help keep audiophiles organised in style.
Building up a record collection is a labour of love and listening to your beloved collection promises an immersive sensory experience. But when Californian designer Kate Koeppel set out to find a beautiful solution to organise and display her and her partner’s growing vinyl collection, she drew a blank. “After a lengthy search, we discovered that only a few products existed – nearly all of them plastic, ugly, poorly made, or a combination of all three,” said Kate. So she did what any savvy designer would do and decided to create her own.
After months of prototyping, materials research and collaboration with local craftsmen, Kate launched a handsome collection of laser cut wood record dividers aimed at organising and alphabetising media in a more eye-catching way. “We’ve designed a durable and stylish solution to organise and display your record Page 2 of 4 collection, and to complement the high fidelity experience of vinyl records,” she explains.
Meticulously handcrafted
The collection of typographic laser-cut wood panels is designed and manufactured by a small team of craftsmen and women in San Francisco. Every element from the initial design to material selection, production and screen-printed packaging oozes quality and is meticulously handcrafted.
The range offers a flexible combination of options to keep audiophile houses in order, no matter the size or storage system of the vinyl collection. These include:
Two tab styles: horizontal tabs for shelving and vertical tabs for record boxes.
Two sizes: for 12” and 7” records.
Two typographical versions: a full 26 panel A–Z set for large record collections and an abbreviated 6 panel set (A-D, E-H, I-L, M-P, Q-T, U-Z) for smaller collections.
Two lettering styles: engraved or stencilled. Engraved typefaces are engraved on both sides of the divider, while the stencil typeface is cut right through. Two lettering typefaces: sans serif (‘Futura’) or serif (‘Mrs Eaves’). A genre-based range is also planned for the near future.
Says Kate, “Veteran vinyl enthusiasts and new collectors alike can be confident that our divider sets will be an essential addition to their music collection.” In addition to vinyl records, the collection is also styled and sized for organising books and other media.
