Saintleo is a New York–based design and production studio operating at the intersection of metal, furniture, and spatial design.
Founded by Leon McKay after his studies of engineering in Melbourne, Australia, Saintleo took shape as an architectural project workshop in Auckland, New Zealand. Following Leon’s interests in music, art and architecture, Saintleo has since evolved into a studio for special projects, collaborations and limited-edition pieces, now based and operating in Brooklyn, New York. Each project reflects Leon’s visual language of design, detail and craftsmanship, combining an eclectic use of raw materials with a refined, contemporary sensibility.

This personal vinyl unit draws inspiration from pyramid acoustic foam sound booths, reinterpreted through furniture-scale form. The piece incorporates a built-in Technics 1200 turntable opening, amplifier housing, and vinyl storage arranged in varied sizes and irregular placement, creating a dynamic and non-uniform composition.
The aluminum carcass is constructed from 8-gauge aluminum sheet, with opening borders set proud of the front plane to emphasize depth and negative space. The exterior is wrapped in pyramid acoustic foam, applying the material in an unconventional context and contrasting rigid metal structure with soft sound-absorbing surfaces.
The result is an object that merges function and experimentation, balancing industrial precision with acoustic texture.
