This impressive design by SchultzeWORKS designstudio is based on the 1954 classic design of Philco Predicta. It is a Steampunk based PC which demonstrates that it is not necessary forget our past to build the future. Good design is long-lasting.

SchultzeWORKS designstudio (www.schultzeworks.com) of Pasadena, CA is proud to announce its top three placement in a recent design competition with their “radical reinvention of the personal computer,” titled ‘Philco PC.’  The competition was sponsored by ASGVIS, makers of V-Ray for Rhino, the 3D rendering technology for the Rhino  modeling software used to create the project. The design of the “Philco PC” was inspired by the 1950′s design classic Philco Predicta, as well as an eclectic mixture of modern minimalism, the steampunk movement, and antiques. As lead designer Dave Schultze explains, “The result is a design aesthetic that blends multiple elements of the familiar, but with some surprisingly fresh styling that just so happens to house a state-of-the-art Windows 7 PC.' The SchultzeWORKS designstudio has created a wide variety of consumer electronics and housewares for clients such as Microsoft, LG, and Target, but the Philco PC design received more attention than usual. “The design was a total labor of love,” says Mr. Schultze, “but I felt so strongly that, with few exceptions, most computers are engineered eyesores. So it was very cool to receive so much positive feedback.” This interest encouraged additional development and resulted in a one-minute 3D animation. This video is now being used for presentation to PC makers for manufacturing consideration, and can be seen online at www.vimeo.com/7951005
