More retro awesomeness! This time though, it’s a combination modern day gadgets wrapped in design anno 1977.  Handheld gaming system (with awesome cartridges!), a laptop, a portable music player and a mobile phone, basically what we take for granted today being all glossy and shiny, are styled and redone in a fashionable 70′s wooden panel together [...]
