Fabien Clerc's Earthenware sculpture is a reminder of the good old days. Adding delicate flowers to a traditional turntable, the sculptures are very pretty and look like they belong in an 18th-century themed room.
Unfortunately, these statues are unable to play your mom's old jazz records -- or any records, for that matter. That functionality would make the Fabien Clerc's Earthenware sculpture just too perfect.
Implications - The retro revolution has found a place in the business world and technology is no longer everything. From fashion to technology and even cars, what is old is new again and consumers are looking for products that capture memories from a simpler time. In short, nostalgia drives consumerism and products that feed off of this drive have a place in the consumer world.
