Reader Submitted: A Table Lamp Inspired by a Pickup Needle Placed on a Vinyl

Athens-based ADD Architectural Studio'sReverse Pickup Table Lamp’s design was inspired from the concept of transmission of sound as a vinyl rotates on the pickup needle. The vinyl was replaced by the translucent marble discus which was placed standing, thus producing the “reverse pickup” table lamp. The concept becomes complete with the bronze arcs, which in combination with the discus’s final position depict the archetype of the pickup needle placed on a vinyl.
