- Brief description:
- An orange coloured LP (12 inch record) storage rack with a series of three concentric arcs against two flat sides. This rack was designed by Conran Associates for Crayonne Ltd, a subsidiary of Airfix Plastics. In 1972, David Sinigaglia, Managing Director of Airfix Industries, set up the design subsidiary to try to improve the image of plastics and approached Conran to apply high design principles to everyday homewares. This range of injection moulded acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) included both record and cassette storage in a variety of colours. By turning the stands, different storage arrangements could be made for decorative effect, see AIBDC : 008861.1 - 008861.9 for other examples.
