The vintage aesthetics of classic arcade games have seen a rise in popularity as more and more arcade-themed bars pop up around the country. Despite their archaic mechanics, clunky machinery, and frustrating difficulty, arcade games continue to endure as a nostalgic, amusing pastime. But designer Jody del Bianco has a different vision for these retro games. The minimalist arcade cabinet concepts look stunningly modern with wooden housing and an open backing. It feels like it could belong in an old-school IKEA catalog. Functionally, this design could operate the same as any old-school arcade cabinet. There’s a flat-screen display, standard buttons, and joysticks. However, del Bianco has also added a shelf within the unit for controllers and modern gaming consoles. We’d love to see this design brought to life for the more aesthetically-minded gamers out there.

The PAX Plus Vaporizer Is as Elegant as It Is Effective
Whether at home or on-the-go, when it comes to vaporizers, we want it all. We want to be able to use full flower or potent concentrates depending on the mood–and keep it smooth without any harsh smoke. We want multiple modes for unique combinations of flavor and vapor. We want an oven that’s as easy to clean as it is adjustable depending on the length of the session. Sounds impossible, right? It’s not with PAX Plus. In addition to packing all those features into one perfectly portable device, it’s also one the most sleek and stylish products that’s come out recently.
