ReCased was a project inspired originally by old styles of carrying. I researched old bags, trunks, saddle bags, boxes, cases, and more and fell in love with their aesthetic. The thing that seemed to tie all the different objects from different cultures together was that they all got better with age. This quality was something that came naturally from the materials they used and the emphasis on craft that was demanded by both the maker and the customer. One of these objects was meant to last a whole lifetime and many were passed down beyond that. This type of quality is something that is lost in our mass-produced throw away culture. I researched traditional, natural materials; examining their unique qualities and how they could be used effectively. The ReCased Record player uses a combination of leather, wood, and brass, to ensure both longevity and a pleasant patina, communicating the story of the object throughout it's life.
