Hermès unveiled the Atelier Horizons Disque Jockey Club, a functional DJ table built from mahogany and wrapped in hand-finished cowhide leather. The piece integrates high-fidelity sound equipment into a sculptural wooden console crafted by French furniture artisans. Integrated Japanese turntables and a professional mixer are housed within the console rather than hidden, emphasizing materiality and proportion. The table was presented during Milan Design Week at La Pelota in the Brera Design District. It was designed in collaboration with British DJ Prince Charles and is available for purchase at Hermès Berlin. The project extends Atelier Horizons’ focus on unexpected luxury objects and reframes DJ equipment as architectural centerpiece furniture.
"Hermès has entered the DJ booth. The French luxury house has unveiled the 'Atelier Horizons Disque Jockey Club', a fully functioning DJ table crafted from mahogany and wrapped in hand-finished cowhide leather, bringing together high-fidelity sound equipment and the meticulous craftsmanship more commonly associated with the brand's handbags and saddlery. Developed through Hermès' bespoke Atelier Horizons division under creative director Axel de Beaufort, the piece transforms DJ equipment into collectible furniture."
"The DJ table was presented as part of Hermès' design showcase at Milan Design Week, exhibited inside La Pelota, the brand's longtime exhibition venue in the Brera Design District. Designed in collaboration with British DJ Prince Charles and now available for purchase at Hermès Berlin, the setup features integrated Japanese turntables and a professional mixer housed within a sculptural wooden console built by French furniture artisans. Rather than disguising the technical components, the design elevates them through materiality and proportion, pairing warm mahogany with rich Pippa cowhide in a way that feels unmistakably Hermès."
"The project continues Atelier Horizons' ongoing exploration of unexpected luxury objects, a category that has previously included leather-clad jukeboxes, bespoke speakers, and handcrafted travel accessories. But the DJ table feels particularly timely. As vinyl culture and analog listening continue to regain momentum, Hermès reframes the DJ console not as backstage equipment, but as a centerpiece worthy of architectural attention."
"Importantly, the table is fully operational. The turntables, mixer, and acoustic engineering were designed for real performance"
