A Burgundy Turntable and a 90-Year-Old Lamp Headline Fritz Hansen's First Thai Sound Club

Dates: Saturday, November 14 - Sunday, November 15, 2026 Venue: House of Fritz Hansen Bangkok, 14/1 Soi Somkid, Phloen Chit Road, Lumphini, Pathum Wan Entry: Free, DJ sessions 1pm-5pm both days

A burgundy turntable and a lamp that turns 90 this year are the centerpiece at Fritz Hansen's Bangkok showroom this November. The Technics SL-40CBT direct-drive turntable and the KAISER idell Luxus 6631-T lamp, both finished in matte deep burgundy, are a joint release between the two brands.

The event marks Fritz Hansen Sound Club's first stop in Thailand, built around a concept the brand calls "Studies of Harmony": two afternoons exploring how design, lighting and music shape a room. For the duration, House of Fritz Hansen Bangkok on Soi Somkid turns its showroom into a listening space, folding vinyl sessions, Danish design and the Technics collaboration under one roof.

DJs take turns behind the decks both days, three names across two afternoons with no ticket price. On Saturday, November 14, Panna plays 1pm to 3pm, followed by DjMOD from 3pm to 5pm. On Sunday, November 15, Erick Nidal & R. hold the floor from 1pm to 5pm.

Fritz Hansen traces its roots to 1872 and has spent generations defining Scandinavian design, working with figures including Arne Jacobsen and Poul Kjærholm. Technics, founded in 1965, built a reputation spanning six decades in high-fidelity audio on direct-drive turntable technology, the stable-rotation engineering that made scratching and beatmatching possible and underpins the brand's now-legendary SL-1200, a club and bedroom-DJ staple since the 1970s.

The lamp has the better backstory of the two objects. Christian Dell designed the Kaiser idell Luxus in 1936, and this 90th-anniversary run is capped at 200 lamps split across Europe and Asia, with the matching Technics turntable limited to 300 units worldwide. Thailand's share of the lamp is five. Both limited editions began shipping globally in October, with pricing not yet announced. Beyond the Bangkok sessions, both pieces are also on display at select Fritz Hansen partner stores and sold through the brand's usual distribution worldwide.

The collaboration itself launched months earlier at the 2026 3 Days of Design festival in Copenhagen, where the pieces sat on original Bauhaus-inspired tables pulled from Fritz Hansen's own archive. Dario Reicherl, CEO of Fritz Hansen's Asia division and one of the people pushing the Copenhagen installation forward, told Wallpaper* that sound and light "both change how a space feels without touching its structure."

Entry to the listening sessions is free. DJ sessions run 1pm to 5pm both days at House of Fritz Hansen Bangkok, 14/1 Soi Somkid, Phloen Chit Road, Lumphini, Pathum Wan. The showroom can confirm current availability of the lamp.
