Truly beautiful: a games console built around patchcords, in Eurorack format; the system exposed to the user, and directly manipulable. The direct manipulation of the physics is kind of brilliant, the more I think about it. Just wonderful.

"Aside the proportions and general ‘80s cuteness, I get obsessed with the PC Engine’s moulded details. Such fine relief work doesn’t seem to appear on modern consumer electronics; it’s all transfers, printing or stickers these days. I personally think really good relief moulding is something of a lost art so it’s nice that the PC Engine has a surprisingly large amount of such details."

"This is so nice, I’d kind of like a print of it for my wall." Yes please. (Looks like an original patent of the lego block, to me).

"Designer Marian Bantjes has created a stunning graphic design for Wallpaper magazine’s Laser sailboat. For the boat, Bantjes played with the Dazzle camouflage patterns that were prominently used by naval ships in the two World Wars." Brilliant. Bit pricey for a Laser… but still brilliant.
