We design vinyl storage in Madrid — objects built to sit beside the turntable, not compete with it. One system, three friends, a thirty-year question finally answered.
Gilberto learned how to handle a record before he learned how to read. In Havana, vinyl wasn't stored — it was cared for. You lifted it from the sleeve with two hands, by the edges, never the face. His father did it that way. So did he.
Thirty years and one ocean later, on a Madrid afternoon, three friends — Guillermo, Gilberto and Rodolfo — were talking about the shelf above a turntable. The records on it were warped, stacked flat, paying the price. And nothing on the market was built to hold them the way they deserved.
In 2022 they opened Keep Them Spinning. The premise wasn't written. It was inherited. A collection is not a commodity. The furniture that holds it shouldn't act like one either.
Key takeaway:
G ilberto learned how to handle a record before he learned how to read.
Everything we design in Madrid today starts there — in a boy's hands in Havana, and in the question his two partners finally turned into a company.

Your records will outlast your turntable.— G · G · R · printed on the Madrid warehouse wall
So should the furniture that holds them.
I bought one cube. Two years later I have six — and the first one still looks like the day it arrived. That's the whole point, isn't it.
Across every KTS module, every market.
Europe, UK, North America, Japan.
Every piece inspected in Madrid first.
Three friends. One premise. Still holds.
Guillermo, Gilberto and Rodolfo. Three partners, one table in Madrid. No investors, no accelerator, no brand consultant — just the three people whose names are on the first purchase order we ever printed.
Guillermo, Gilberto, Rodolfo · MadridSix months. That's how long every prototype sits on the shelf above the test turntable in our European design center before it ships. If a joint creaks, a finish lifts, or a drawer drags on its slides — it stays.
Three friends. One vision.
Built the way we want to own it.
Everything else is style. These are the ones we'll argue about, lose sleep over, and throw out a prototype for. They're printed on the wall of the Madrid warehouse. They are the point.
No MDF, no veneer, no particleboard pretending. Every KTS module is solid timber with an internal steel reinforcement. Fifty records is a lot of weight, and the Vinyl Modular you buy today is the shelf you will still own in 2055.
Every piece is drawn, prototyped, and signed off in Madrid. Every piece passes our warehouse inspection bench — by hand, by name — before it is allowed near a shipping label. Browse the full storage system to see what passes the bench.
A vinyl pressing lasts a century if you treat it right. The furniture around it should be built the same way — solid timber, internal steel, mortise joints. The Vinyl Modular x4 you buy today is the module you will still own in 2055.
Six setups from our owners around the world. Real rooms, real systems, real records.
Six honest answers about how we build, ship and stand behind every KTS module.
Every module is drawn, prototyped and quality-inspected in Madrid, Spain. Our workshop is at Calle Severo Ochoa 13, Rivas-Vaciamadrid. We do not white-label, we do not drop-ship, and every piece passes the warehouse bench — by hand, by name — before a shipping label is printed.
Paulownia is the lightest hardwood with the strength-to-weight ratio of oak. It grows 7-10 years versus 50+ for oak, absorbs roughly ten times more CO2 per hectare, and weighs about a third of oak, which cuts shipping emissions by the same factor. For a furniture system that has to support 50-200 records per module and ship worldwide, no other timber comes close.
Free worldwide shipping is included in every order. Delivery is 3-7 working days within Europe and 7-14 working days to the US, UK, Canada and Japan. We ship from Madrid via DHL, UPS or local carrier depending on destination.
Yes — the modular system is built precisely for that. Most collectors start with a single Vinyl Modular (50 LPs) or a Modular Foreigner station and grow into the Digger's Stack, Wall or Library as the collection expands. Modules from any production year stack with any other module, by design.
Yes. 30-day no-questions-asked returns from the day of delivery — we cover return shipping within the EU. Every module also carries a structural promise: if a joint fails in normal indoor use, we replace the module for free.
Prices shown include VAT for EU customers and shipping for the whole world. For US, UK, Canada and Japan we ship DDP (delivered duty paid) — there are no surprise import fees on delivery. What you see is the final price.
Vinyl Modular x4 — solid Paulownia, holds 200+ LPs, stacks infinite, ships worldwide from Madrid. It is the unit we keep at home and the one most collectors choose first.
