About On the Table Bòrd Arcade

Tha an consól geama bhidio ann an stoidhle arcade seo air a dhealbhadh airson geamannan bhidio clasaigeach bho na 1980an is na 1990an a chluich, agus tha e airson inbhich a dh'fhàs suas leis na geamannan sin. Ged nach dòcha gum bi consól geama àbhaisteach a' freagairt air taobh a-staigh grinn, tha an dealbhadh seo a' tabhann roghainn ioma-ghnìomhach. Nuair nach eil e ga chleachdadh airson geamannan, bidh an consól ag atharrachadh gu bhith na bhòrd cofaidh ùr-nodha snasail, a' leigeil leis measgachadh gun uidheam a-steach do dh'àiteachan-còmhnaidh co-aimsireil.

Unique Properties: This is an arcade-styled video game console to play vintage video games from the 80's and 90's, and it is dedicated to adults who grew up with those video games in their childhood. However, having a normal vintage video game console could ruin the ambience of your sophisticated living room. Here is a solution. This is not just a game console, but it transforms to a stylish modern coffee table when it is not played.
Dimensions & Packaging: Dimensions: W 700 D 500 H 345 mm
Tags: Arcade, Vintage, Video game, Furniture, Coffee table, Side table
Production Technology: Materials: wood, stainless steel
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was finding a contemporary stylish design for this unique product which transforms from a coffee table to arcade game console.
Research: Research was conducted in two directions.
The first direction was looking into existing arcade consoles for home. And, the second direction was looking into contemporary design tables to be inspired for designing the style of pur project.
Inspiration: In the 80's, many kids grew up with old-school video games and arcade games that became a distinct subculture of the era.
Now those kids are grown-up adults, but their good childhood memories are still alive within them, and forever will be.
Project Duration: Milan 2016 / 2017
Operation Flow: This is an arcade - styled video game console for single or two players. When it is not played, it is a normal coffee table and the game console interface is hidden.
