The PhilcoPC (a retro object of desire)

Above is the highly desirable but at present just a design concept for a retro style Philco PC by the SchultzeWorks design studio from Pasadena. The project idea comes from the 1950's Philco Predicta TV which was in itself quite an innovative design for the times.
The keyboard as you can see passes a more than passing resemblance to a 1950's typewriter which would hopefully have a satisfying key feel and sound if and when this ever goes into production..... which I sincerely hope happens at some time in the near future.
The PhilcoPC first appeared in a press release in December 2009, this was taken up by many online gadget and design sites. News from Dave Schultz themselves is that 'SchultzeWORKS and the Philco PC have been invited to participate in the IDSA-sponsored IDEA awards, or the ‘International Design Excellence Awards’. Entries were due February 1st, 2010, so the Philco PC is now entered in the Computer Equipment / Concepts & Prototypes category.' from SchultzWorks blog 5th February 2010

I am very pleased to have this desirable object which is as yet only a concept be the first post for this new blog which will concentrate on unusual yet beautiful objects all of which I would say.........I want one........
