DJ booths clad in wood, metal and a giant disco ball feature in this lookbook<\/a>, which rounds up nightclubs<\/a>, restaurants and even a bathhouse<\/a> that centre music.<\/span><\/p>\n

With dance music culture “booming again” throughout the world<\/a>, the spaces where it happens are also receiving renewed attention.<\/p>\n

The DJ booth is arguably at the centre of it all, serving as its own mini-gathering hub inside of a larger restaurant, nightclub or outdoor space.<\/p>\n

In this lookbook, we take a look at unique booth designs from Japan<\/a> to Australia<\/a> that keep people on their feet.<\/p>\n

This is the latest in our lookbooks series, which provides visual inspiration from Dezeen’s archive. For more inspiration, see previous lookbooks featuring milking stools<\/a>, stylish skylights<\/a> and marble kitchen islands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Oven, Spain, by Clap Studio<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

As its name suggests, the Oven techno club in\u00a0Valencia<\/a> was designed to feel like an oven, featuring red and black Alpi wood walls with a rippled burl pattern that climbs up the interior.<\/p>\n

Other surfaces, such as the central DJ booth, were clad in stainless steel<\/a> to reflect the club’s warm-toned lighting.<\/p>\n
