It’s ironic that some of the most fascinating designs today take inspiration from the past (you’d think we’d be focused on the space age and galactic by now), but designers like the US-based SchultzeWORKS are doing just that. In fact, the SchultzeWORKS Philco PC shown here combines elements of 1950s televisions, antique typewriters, and ‘steampunk’ objects.
The SchultzeWORKS Philco PC is a desktop design that the company hopes will go into production soon by PC manufacturers. With such a unique look that merges old school and new school, I’m sure there will be a manufacturer out there willing to take it on.
Here’s how lead designer David Schultze describes the SchultzeWORKS Philco PC:
