The Design

About On the Table Mejda Arcade

Din il-console tal-video games fl-istil arcade hija ddisinjata biex tilgħab video games klassiċi mis-snin tmenin u disgħin, u hija maħsuba għall-adulti li kibru b'dawn il-logħob. Filwaqt li console tal-logħob konvenzjonali forsi ma tikkumplimentax interjur raffinat, dan id-disinn joffri alternattiva multifunzjonali. Meta ma tkunx qed tintuża għal-logħob, il-console tinbidel f'mejda tal-kafè moderna u eleganti, li tippermettilha tintegra bla xkiel fl-ispazji tal-għajxien kontemporanji.

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.
