In Los Angeles a design studio named Geology makes locally crafted wood furniture that includes nicely designed credenzas and wall units to store and display your collection of vinyl. Founded in 2011 by husband and wife, Adam and Vanessa Friedman, their well-crafted wood pieces inspired by Midcentury Modern Design are available in walnut or white oak and make the most of your collection.
Geology Studio Wood Furniture
The OPEN 45 Credenza, OPEN 90 Credenza and Wall of Sound are part of Geology Studio’s nicely crafted wood furniture creations. Attractive, midcentury modern-inspired designs for the home are thoughtfully developed by Adam and hand crafted by local artisans. The finished products were built and rebuilt until they met Geology’s high standards of both design and comfort.
Credenzas / Consoles
Unlike Wrensilva’s compact wood record consoles, these are nice and large so they can also function as display for books, plants and other objets d’art in addition to albums.
The OPEN 45 Credenza
Created to promote the use of your vinyl collection, the inspiration behind the OPEN 45 was to keep your records in sight and at the ready, allowing you to spend time enjoying the fidelity of your albums.
The flexibility of their modular platform allows you to adjust the shelves and slotted divider panels, offering an easy way to customize your setup. A discreet cord channel runs the length of the piece, for hidden cable management.
Available in standard 5’ and 7’ length and a height of in 27” or a low 21”, the Open Credenza includes one large shelf for a turntable, 4 divider panels and legs in either brass or matte black.
The OPEN 90 Credenza (shown below) will soon be available as well.

The Wall of Sound
A wall unit named after music producer Phil Spector’s famous innovation, it’s designed for the prolific collector. It offers both display and storage with a unique built-in divider system. A handle at the base of each divider can be loosened, moved into position and tightened in place, allowing the user to bookend entire genres of music.
The 80″ tall and 63″ wide wall unit has 3 shelves and the original Open 45 credenza is built into the center. Above the Open 45 is a small shelf designed to hold your current favorite albums regularly visiting the turntable. Built in speakers are available as well.
The 10 movable dividers create space for objects to be safely displayed between heavy runs of vinyl. Shown here in Bleached Oak, it’s also available in other wood finishes. The metal frame is available in either matte black or a brass finish.
Like all their furniture, the details are thoughtfully finished and the cords are hidden.
Geology Studio finds inspiration by seeking new ways to see, feel and experience the everyday world. In addition to their furniture, Geology also offers design and product development services.
