A Japanese Zen Garden is the inspiration behind this award-winning DJ console! - Yanko Design

Today DJing has taken the world by storm, especially when it comes to the younger generation. More and more than individuals are looking at it as a tangible career option, rather than a elementary hobby or sidelined passion. However many of those interested in this field often end up with common cold feet one time they go an eyeful of the actual DJing equipment. A issue of many complex technological innovations, DJing equipment isn't the most aesthetic or convenient product out at that place. Every bit a result, DJing seems more of a mystery than information technology actually is. The feel can be quite uncomfortable as customization of the user interface is quite impossible, and the equipment cannot exist modified according to the personal taste of the DJ or genre.

However, designers Byoung Hoon Woo and Su hyun Bang decided to simplify the entire ordeal with their 'Whiteout', DJing equipment inspired by the Japanese garden style, Zen garden. A Zen garden is a simplistic garden style that utilizes rocks, sand, and gravel to recreate the essence of nature. It is believed to have 'a calming issue' on the mind. Cartoon two of the primary characteristics of a Zen garden; circulation and repetition, Woo and Blindside have created a unique and corking form of equipment wherein a DJ tin can capture his musical world. The formative language of the Zen garden-inspired turntable helps to save the psychological brunt or stress that tin can overcome DJs before they play a set. Much similar the pebbles and stones plant in a Zen garden, the DJ console consists of detachable knobs and faders. These knobs and faders allow the user to freely configure the console and modify information technology according to his/her taste or the genre they prefer. With fewer buttons, there is a wider space allowing more detailed manipulation, equalization, effector usage, and numerous other functions. The knobs and faders are portable! You can remove and store them in a dedicated case, and deport it around with you, allowing piece of cake admission to them someday, anywhere.

The minimalism and crispness of the Zen garden design, the detachable knobs, and faders all come together to course a cute product, which looks exquisite even when not in employ. Not to mention information technology was the winner of the Chiliad Prize of the K-Design Awards in 2019. An artful alternative to pre-existing DJ equipment, and not to mention highly functional and portable equally well, this is one console that could even get me to try my hand at DJing!
