Humax Tv Mixes Modern Display, Retro Curves
March 27th, 2008
No matter how cool it is to hang a super-skinny flat panel on your wall, virtually every LCD or Plasma television is looking like the same, nondescript rectangular box. So it’s good to finally see that somebody out there is thinking a little outside of that box.
This new design for a Humax LCD television was envisioned by UK industrial designer Tej Chauhan. Combining the curvy lines of an old 1950s television with the modern technology of today’s flat screens, the set is a real stunner.
It’s not been revealed if the set will ever see the light of day as a production model, or if it’s just a conceptual prototype. Either way, it’s good to see something different, and I’m hoping that it does make its way to stores some day. If you happen to be in Milan, Italy between April 16-21, you can check it out in person at the Zona Tortona design show.

That is one cool television.
Wow, kind of a “retro type look”… I don’t like “retro type looks”…
do i want to buy?
retro maybe.. definitely NOT a new design.. it’s a restatement of that classic mod tv.. don’t try to filch off designers that really did the work and put it out as new you really piss me off
