Loia: French design for music, vinyl and Hi-Fi
LOIA Le Digger Record Bin
The LOIA Le Digger is a stylish record bin for up to 210 LPs. Made in France, it combines a black or white powder-coated steel frame with walnut veneer panels for stable and elegant vinyl storage.
The LOIA Le Digger is made for vinyl collectors who want to keep their records visible, organised and easy to browse. Instead of hiding LPs away in a closed cabinet, this record bin gives your collection a central and practical place in the room. The open compartments make browsing through records feel natural and enjoyable, much like flipping through albums in a record shop.
The design combines a sturdy powder-coated steel frame with warm walnut veneer plywood panels. This gives Le Digger a strong but refined appearance, balancing industrial lines with natural material detail. Made in France, it works beautifully next to a turntable, audio console or existing record cabinet.
With two generous storage compartments, Le Digger offers room for a serious vinyl collection. LOIA specifies a total capacity of up to 210 records, with room for approximately 100 records in the upper compartment and 100 records in the lower compartment. The top shelf can be used for your current selection, new arrivals or favourite albums you want to keep close at hand.

How many LPs fit in the LOIA Le Digger record bin?
Le Digger has a stated total capacity of up to 210 records. The upper and lower storage sections each hold roughly 100 LPs, with an additional upper area for a small current selection.
How does the front-browsing layout work?
The upper bin presents sleeves from the front, much like a record-shop browser. The lower compartment adds upright LP storage, allowing frequently played records and the wider collection to be organized separately.
What are the dimensions and weight of Le Digger?
It measures approximately 77 cm high, 39.5 cm wide and 37.5 cm deep, with a listed weight of 24 kg. Its narrow footprint provides substantial vinyl storage without requiring a wide wall.
What materials are used in this record bin?
Le Digger combines a black or white powder-coated steel frame with walnut-veneered plywood panels. It is made in France.
Can the top area be used for new arrivals or now-playing records?
Yes. The upper hook or selection area is intended for about ten records, making it useful for new purchases, a listening queue or albums you want to keep separate from the main LP storage.
Does the LOIA Le Digger require assembly?
No. It is delivered as a ready-made product. Choose its final position before loading it, because the 24 kg frame becomes considerably heavier with 200 records.
How should records be distributed between the two compartments?
Distribute the collection reasonably evenly so the unit remains balanced and sections stay easy to browse. Avoid forcing too many thick gatefold sleeves into one compartment.
What are the delivery, return and warranty conditions?
Le Digger is listed for immediate delivery with shipping in approximately three to five business days. A 14-day cancellation right applies, and the stated warranty is two years.
Which type of vinyl storage suits my collection?
Use a compact stand or crate for a small rotation, a front-browsing bin for regular listening and a record cabinet or modular system for a larger collection. The collection includes 20- and 40-LP stands, 60-LP holders, open crates, wall storage and furniture holding several hundred records.
How much LP storage should I plan for future purchases?
Choose capacity above the current record count rather than filling every compartment immediately. A little spare room makes browsing easier and leaves space for new releases. Expandable systems such as Kiyo and Display LUNA are useful when collection growth is expected but the final size is uncertain.
Should records be stored upright?
Yes. Store discs vertically on edge and support partly filled sections so the sleeves do not lean sharply. Avoid stacking LPs flat for long periods, and do not pack a record shelf so tightly that jackets must be pulled out with force.
What is the difference between front-browsing and spine-facing record storage?
Front-browsing bins show cover artwork and make it easy to flip through albums, but they usually need more depth. Spine-facing shelves use wall space efficiently and suit alphabetical organization. Many collectors combine both: archive most LPs by spine and keep current listening in a flip bin.
Which vinyl storage works well in a small room?
Wall-mounted record storage, cube inserts and compact 20–60 LP stands use limited floor area efficiently. Measure wall load, shelf depth and access before choosing a solution. A small footprint is useful only when records remain upright and easy to remove.
Can record storage be expanded later?
Several products are designed for growth. Kiyo modules can be rearranged and extended, Display LUNA accepts additional shelves, and separate crates or bins can be added in stages. Check connection systems and maximum stacking guidance before expanding vertically.
Which materials are common in LP storage furniture?
Options include solid oak or walnut, plywood, powder-coated steel, bamboo, acrylic dividers and coated fibreboard. Material alone does not determine suitability; also check shelf load, joinery, stability and whether the finish is easy to maintain around frequently handled records.
How should I protect records once they are organized?
Keep vinyl storage away from direct heat, sunlight and damp areas. Use clean inner sleeves, avoid PVC outer sleeves for long-term storage and leave enough room to handle jackets by their edges. Dust open storage regularly without spraying cleaner near the records.
