- Title:
- Crayonne white LP rack
- Object name(s):
- audio visual accessory; record storage
- Brief description:
- An LP (12 inch record) storage rack 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. Injection moulded in acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), this white coloured stand dates to the 1970s. The range included both record and cassette storage in the same shape and dimensions and in a variety of colours so that the racks were interchangeable. By turning the stands, different storage arrangements could be made for decorative effect, see AIBDC : 008861.1 - 008861.9 for other examples.
