DJ Desks via METROFARM

Paul Webb DSGN Journal - DJ Desks via METROFARM 01

METROFARM is a stu­dio col­lec­tive based in Berlin that spe­cial­izes in built to order DJ desks, among other things.

This first desk is made of folded stain­less steel.

How­ever, this veneered one is my favorite of the bunch. Just look at that detail, scrumptious!

Reg­u­lar fol­low­ers of my blog will know that I have a thing for con­crete as a build­ing mate­r­ial so it comes as no sur­prise that this par­tic­u­lar DJ desk with con­crete legs and a linoleum mid­dle part is eas­ily another favorite.

The only down­side to hav­ing a cus­tom built DJ desk is that there’s prob­a­bly no way to switch out the turnta­bles if you want to upgrade or try another brand’s. On the other hand, if you DJ reg­u­larly, you prob­a­bly have a good idea of what you like to use for your sets.

Be sure to peruse the rest of METROFARM’s site, as they have a good amount of other projects/furniture on display.

Nike Blazer Pentium 1.0

Paul Webb DSGN Journal - Nike Blazer Pentium 1.0 01

A junk artist by the name of Gabriel Dishaw cre­ated these size 9 1/2 Intel-themed circuit-board sneak­ers as a kind of homage to his favorite sneakers.

Of course, you wouldn’t wear these [highly uncom­fort­able, I imagine].

These weigh about 15 pounds and this project took Gabriel three weeks to com­plete. More pics?

There are also pic­tures of a fan­tas­ti­cally made car­ry­ing case for these on Gabriel’s site.
