After spending hours digging through her partner’s extensive record collection, Kate Koeppel began to look for an organizational device for them. “So much of what I found on the market was plastic, or just poorly made, it didn't make sense for me or my partner to buy disposable dividers for a music collection that is so carefully curated and personal,” she says. “Listening to music on vinyl is such a considered and thoughtful experience, the sound is so detailed and precise, I wanted to design something clean, long-lasting and effective that would help organize and display the collection.” After numerous requests from friends and several prototypes, Koeppel released the first collection in November 2013.
