Built from sound,
shaped by design
Licorice Locker started with two things I’ve always cared about — music and space.
Vinyl, specifically.
Not just how it sounds, but how it feels. The weight. The ritual. The presence it has in a room.
Architecture changed how I see
I studied architecture to understand how people experience space.
Light. Material. Proportion.
How objects sit within a room — and quietly shape how it feels.
That thinking never left. It just became smaller. More personal.
Where it started
The first soundwave piece wasn’t planned.
I made it at a time where I needed an outlet — something to focus on, something to build.
Then I listed it on Facebook Marketplace.
It sold.
Then another did.
That was enough to realise this could become something.
Music became the brief
Vinyl isn’t just something to play.
It’s something to live with.
So I started designing pieces that let it exist in a space the same way art does.
Designed for presence
Every piece is designed to do more than hold a record.
It creates a moment.
Minimal, but not empty.
Functional, but intentional.
Closer to architecture than product.
For people with taste
This is for people who care about what they surround themselves with.
People who see music as part of their environment — not separate from it.
Still building
Licorice Locker is evolving into something bigger.
Objects. Spaces. Systems.
All sitting at the intersection of music and design.
For those who want to be part of it — the Listening Room is open.
