David Kornmann's Killer DJ Tables

By Rain Noe - February 24, 2011

I'm aware that Apple gets bandied about as a design reference rather liberally these days, but I will say that if the team at Cupertino designed DJ tables, they would probably look like these.

Designer David Kornmann's Hoerboard "DJ Workstations" cleanly hide every wire, cable and connection within their CNC-cut MDF surfaces, providing a clutter-free mixing experience. Things you don't need to see (like the body of the CD player) are also concealed. Even the screws used to mount the acrylic laptop stand are hidden away, so the only obvious joints will be the ones you're spinning.

Now if your into intricate mixing techniques then this might not work for you. Its not a fix all for every type of music. But if your like me and the main things is to keep the dance floor filled and no dead space between songs, then a decent DJ laptop and quality Software Program might be what you need to set you free. It takes a little time to set it up and to load all the songs but after your done with that DJ'ing is a breeze. Get a few props, dance on your speakers, take your wireless Mic and DJ from any part of the room. Your audience will be partying with you, not wondering where the excitement is.

I guess there's enough room to chop lines on it, but really nowhere to put a drink or two that is safe.

Interesting to have read something about design piracy just before I've seen this table. Take a look at http://www.metrofarm.net/#/work/classicdj
for the original, even better looking one (more sleek)...

Looks cool, but what about setting up your decks battle style or different size mixers?

The first one with two legs seems more sturdy than the second one with a bent steel foot, a la Apple Display. Maybe it would be good for retail settings or hotel lobbies, but in a crowded dance floor or bar, I can't see how it won't bounce or shake. Or maybe the tables are just made for downtempo DJs.

As an industrial designer AND a DJ, this is one of the most badass things I have ever seen. Any word on pricing?? Seems a little overkill for your home, but would be good for a small club or boutique stores.
