The Naaitafel holds a few distinctions among other conceptual art pieces. First off, it probably has the most awkwardly pronounced and worst named idea we’ve come across. Second off, it is a vintage mash-up of two old products, that produces something that should have been done a long time ago.
A sewing machine and a record player have very similar parts if you think about it. Both rely on a needle, both have a spindle, both are usually covered in dust. The combination just works. — Andrew Dobrow

I think the name is brilliant, I’m dutch so let me explain.
sewing machine in dutch is Naai machine
and a record player is a Draai tafel (litteraly translated spin table)
So the 2 combine make for a cool art piece and a cool name
