philco PC retro desktop by schultzeworks

schultzeworks design studio has reinvented the desktop. the outcome is 'philco PC' a retro-styled
personal computer which is influenced by the 1954 design classic philco predicta, mixed with a bit
of modernist minimalism.
lead designer dave schultze states:
'the result is a design aesthetic that blends multiple elements of the familiar, but with some
surprisingly fresh styling that just so happens to house a state-of-the-art windows 7 PC.'

Very nice, I'm especially fond of the keyboard - I'd leave that on the desktop any day of the week. Shouldn't it be booting, like, Minix, or OS/2 or something though ;)

it's looks like SMTH Brazilia movie

It's impressive, but I don't feel the keyboard really matches the style of the main uint.

So. I have a Question.
Where can I get one?
Even just the case, or the keyboard.
I think it fits nicely with the rest of the style of the unit.

i feel sick, worrying when we look to the past for inspiration for the future..

Actually, I believe that a design challenge is more difficult (and personally interesting) when you try to combine elements of the familiar, but it a totally new way. If you can also incorporate an element of humor, you have something that people will talk about. Otherwise, I do agree with your point.

Wonderful, exuberant design. I'd like to see some period colors like cream, burgundy and turquoise. Maybe some tu-tones. And tailfins. Ok, forget the tailfins.

Well done, nice design-
Franksol 12.19.09
very nice product. wonderful color
fluye 12.19.09
wtf? why imitate a retro style on something which didn't even exist back then, if it was a tv or a fridge that would have been justified. bad design
mb 12.19.09
The keyboard and mouse are stellar.
hillary 12.19.09
i don't like styling, i prefer good design. it seems to be instable. in my opinion the displayed content should come to the fore, not the machine itself.

HORRIBLEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I like it very much.
Please consider to design a laptop line Windows compatible. Its very difficult to find a well-done Windows notebook if you compare to mac.

the design could be simplified more and adding up some energy saving focus it would be a great product to fight the current imac design.
well for this one i really like it and it have a certain unique feeling :D
