For most Americans, Braun is known primarily (and singularly) as a company that makes shavers and coffee makers. However in the design world, it is known as design innovator of highest degree (some refer to it the proto-Apple). Through the designs of Dieter Rams (check this flickr stream), Braun championed super-slick, functionalist designs throughout 1950-80s. It produced a diverse line of household goods and electronics that are highly in-demand by design collectors. Turntable Lab is proud to offer both authentic Braun reissues and new designs.

Hand style bible, nuff said. Flip The Script systematically breaks down and catalogs the regional difference between major hand styles from across the states. From Philly and New York, to the SF Bay, Los Angeles, Southwest, Chicago/Midwest, and the North East & West, all styles are represented as author Christian Acker taps legendary writers to drop knowledge of the artform. Graf heads will immediately recognize names like Espo, Stay High, Haze, Mike Giant, Amaze, Geso, Chaz Bojoriquez, Taki 183 (the OG!), and many others whose hand styles are dissected and compiled here into easy to read alphabets. Taking inspiration from his surroundings and being a designer himself, Acker puts emphasis on the importance of graffiti being the last savior of penmanship (F a free font) and presents the various lettering samples in a clean organized format. This presentation gives the material a proper, formal treatment, reminiscent of classic typography books. For aspiring designers and the hardest graff heads, this is a must for the collection. Hardcover edition with foil printing. Recommended.

Simple Materials

The Ceramic Speakers are made from porcelain, cork, and Baltic birch. Each material is minimally finished, left to add its natural beauty to the design. The included amplifier is made from stainless steel sheet metal, with a cast iron base and paulownia volume slider.

Enjoy The Experience: Homemade Records 1958-1992 is the largest collection of American private press vinyl ever amassed and presented, featuring over 1,000 reproductions of the cover art of self released titles from 1958-1992.

Though the book highlights many cultural oddities, it also compiles a glimpse into some of Funk, Soul, and Disco rarities that are highly sought out, but almost NEVER seen. Curated and edited by New York’s Boo Hooray gallery owner Johan Kugelberg (who has penned past books Born In The Bronx, Punk, and Norwegian Black Metal) along with a gang of some of the world’s most revered record collectors, Enjoy The Experience: Homemade Records 1958-1992 is a must-have for fans of rare and hard to find records.

Plus the hardcover book, loaded with rare pics and informative liner notes from Chris Faraone is the icing on the cake. Here's what Cmish had to say when we first started carrying Ironman: It's Ironman! The debut album from Ghostface Killah released in 1996. If you don't know this one, here's a little Wu lesson for ya. First came the 36 Chambers, which then brought forth Raekwon's Only Built For Cuban Linx, which featured Ghostface, then came his solo album, Ironman. The whole album is produced by RZA and carries that uncut raw, infectious energy that made Ghost and Wu the Icons they are today. Standout cuts include "Winter Warz" ft. Cappadonna, U-God & Masta Killa, "Fish" ft. Raekwon & Cappadonna, the title track "Iron Maiden" ft. Raekwon & Cappadonna, "All That I Got Is You" ft. Mary J Blige. Funk it man, can't really pick out the best here, the whole damn thing is great. Super sought after, Recommended.
