When a company like Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft designs a console (or handheld), they have a few things to worry about, like keeping prices as low as possible while ensuring everything still works. But what if that wasnât an obstacle for games hardware? What if they could be as beautiful as any other piece of hand-crafted art, price be damned?
Thatâs where Love Hulten comes in. The Swedish designer and craftsman (who weâve actually featured here before) specialises in exquisite, one-of-a-kind pieces of electronics:
Hultén carefully selects the finest local materials to provide strength and durability. The unique collectible objects breathe through time, rather than get suffocated by it. Specializing in creating one-of-a-kind exclusive items, Hulten offers the buyer a genuine and personal experience.
Just look at this stuff. Itâs gorgeous. This little handheld, for example, is made from solid American walnut, wrapped around a Raspberry Pi A+ thatâs running an emulator. You can even adjust the tension of the friction hinge.
Here are some more examples of Hultenâs work:
