'Void' LP player spins records in midair like musical UFOs
























Inspired by the Vinyl Killer, which is currently the smallest record player in the world, Korean designer Rhea Jeong's "Void" LP player would have records spinning in midair above it.

Here's the plan, according to Designboom, who Jeong sent the design to:

The record player uses a carrier and dock outfitted with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control system which carries the LP into thin air as it is playing music. A self-running record player shaped in the form of a red sphere, contains a needle, amplifier and speaker, spins around the record, bringing the music to life.

There's even a control on the player's base to control how high the record spins.

What the heck? Looks a bit weird to me, someone with this type of talent should be designing things that can be useful, although it's still pretty unusual.
