Transform vinyl albums into a stylish art collection
Does your dad, husband or brother have a pile of dusty LPs sitting in their loft that they just can’t bear to throw away? Would they like to revitalise their record collection and give it a new lease of creative life?
Then the Interchangeable Record Frame is just what they need to show off Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, Tubular Bells and Dark Side of the Moon, in all their artistic glory.
These solid oak record frames are individually handmade by Northampton cabinet makers The Art of Wood. They are easy to hang on the wall as the frame includes hanging fixings. But the best feature of all is that you can change your record any time you like by simply sliding the LP in and out of the frame. Circulate your entire record collection whenever you want!
Step 1: slide in LP Step 2: admire the artwork
Mark Dayman, director of The Art of Wood, originally designed the frames for his own 12 inch LP collection, and refers to them as “posters for grown-ups”.
He said: “I originally fell in love with Iron Maiden music and Iron Maiden artwork. Move on 20 years and I still loved listening to Iron Maiden on my iPod but I missed the 12 inch LPs. So I dug them out from a big dusty cardboard box under the bed and made solid oak frames to display the covers.
“They now hang proudly in my workshop office and I decided to make more so I could sell to other vinyl enthusiasts. We might not play these records anymore but it is a shame to hide all the art work away.”
The oak frames are priced at £45 each, £80 for two and £120 for three and can be bought online via PayPal at
www.theartofwood.org/frames.aspx
The frames can also be made to order from other woods, but the price may vary depending on the cost of the wood. To order a non-oak frame email
