The Design

About On the Table Arkadni stol

Ova arkadna konzola za videoigre osmišljena je za igranje klasičnih videoigara iz 1980-ih i 1990-ih te je namijenjena odraslima koji su odrastali uz te igre. Iako konvencionalna igraća konzola možda ne pristaje profinjenom interijeru, ovaj dizajn nudi multifunkcionalnu alternativu. Kada se ne koristi za igranje, konzola se pretvara u elegantan moderni stolić za kavu, omogućujući joj besprijekorno uklapanje u suvremene životne prostore.

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.
