Just like Haarlem Vinyl Festival, Ophon Music Furniture was born out of a deep love for music, vinyl records, and cover art. On this year's first edition of the festival, the two join forces to showcase what they love most. Expect to spot a wide range of their Coverfront record cabinets throughout our program: a sleeve art exhibition, listening spaces, custom-built on-stage design, and a special cabinet dedicated to 7-inch singles. Provided and powered by Ophon Music Furniture.
