4M wooden computer artifacts

‘4M’ PC artifact by love hultén

designed by swedish design student love hultén (lars hansson), ‘4M’ is a small wooden PC artifact and computer monitor. the lightly steampunk aesthetic includes among its design influences HAL9000 of stanley kubrick’s ‘2001: a space odyssey’, for what hultén describes as a ‘semi-organic’ look that bridges the boundary between technology and nature.

the front panel of the CPU case is composed of walnut lumber, featuring a ball handle joystick and brass window with magnifying lens that looks in on the CPU cooler inside. likewise of walnut, the minimalist computer monitor stand is constructed with brass nuts and bolts; adjustable via a tilting mount and cord.
