It is through this collaboration that light defines mood, sound evokes emotion and minimalist design connects both

As part of the Fritz Hansen Sound Club, an immersive exhibition created in collaboration with Japanese audio brand Technics, both brands have teamed up to launch a couple items that are a sight for sore eyes and well, music to our ears.

There’s the lamp, a reissue of the Kaiser Idell Luxus 6631-T desk lamp that made its first appearance in 1936. Designed by Christian Dell, it evokes the straightforward simplicity of the modernist era and distills the light down to a few essential geometric shapes—a spherical dome, circular base and a curving tubular arm.

Though not sold together, it is introduced with an upgraded version of the Technics direct drive SL deck, which was brought to life in 1970. As the Technics SL-40CBT Direct Drive Turntable, it is the first Technics deck to integrate Bluetooth functionality, fusing great audiophile engineering with modern convenience.

While both products have over three decades between them, they are a match made in design heaven, united by the same deep burgundy finish. Through this collaboration, light defines mood, sound evokes emotion and minimalist design connects both. Light and sound define the character of space, giving rise to an experience that is deeply human.
