From Concept to Creation: Introducing the Aurala120A

Great design solves problems beautifully. After decades of working in stage design and product development across multiple continents, I've learned that the most elegant solutions often emerge from a deep understanding of materials, light, and space. The Aurala120A results from this journey – a storage system that challenges how we think about displaying and protecting our vinyl collections.

A Legacy of Transparency

When I started designing the Aurala120A, I was drawn to the pioneering work of designers like Charles Hollis Jones, whose innovative use of acrylic in the 1970s earned him the nickname "Mr. Lucite." His Edison Chair and Waterfall Collection showed how transparent materials could make bold statements while seemingly floating in space. Or Philippe Starck, whose Louis Ghost Chair for Kartell revolutionized how we think about traditional forms in modern materials.

These masters proved that acrylic isn't just a material – it's a way to play with light, space, and perception. This resonated deeply with my experience in design, where the interplay of light and form can transform an entire environment.

Where Function Meets Form

The Aurala120A wasn't born in a boardroom – it emerged from countless iterations, material studies, and a relentless pursuit of simplicity. The crystal-clear acrylic construction creates an almost ethereal presence, making your collection appear to float within your space.

Growing With Your Collection

Like all Bentolabs designs, the Aurala120A embodies our commitment to modular architecture. It's a founding principle of our design philosophy – we create systems, not just products. While the acrylic construction brings a new material dimension to our lineup, the Aurala120A's ability to expand and adapt remains true to our core approach. This systematic thinking transforms storage solutions into lasting investments, allowing your space to evolve as your collection grows.

Beyond Storage

The Aurala120A is more than a storage unit – it's a study in material honesty and purposeful design.

The result is a piece that doesn't just store your collection – it elevates it. Each unit is a celebration of clarity, both in material and purpose. It's where precision meets possibility, protection meets presentation, and your collection finds its perfect home.
