I wish wooden appliances will become trendy again.

Postby Netherrealmer » 27 Jul 2018, 13:56

They trends come and go but sometimes returns. Early 2000's kids will never want to have a Pompador hairstyle because it is their grandpa's hair during the 1940's. :lol: 2010's kids though have the pompador hairstyle as it became hip again. I wish we can say the same with technology. During the 1960's to the 1970's wooden appliances are very trendy.

This is Atari 2600, A videogame console from the 1970's to early 80's. It looks sophisticated because it is made of wood instead of metal and plastic.

Look how gorgeous looking this speaker is.

There is something classy and sophisticated about wooden appliances. I wish they will become a trend again.
This wooden Iphone case looks amazing.

I want to have these wooden keyboard and wireless mouse.

This is a joy pad for ps4, It is for people who likes playing fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken. These controllers gives the arcade feel. I love that its made of wood.

A flatscreen tv made of wood, so pretty.

The wooden keyboard and mouse are quite cool. I love to see people that do woodworking making things like this. I bet it took quite a while to make. I wish I had this skill.

I love stuff made of wood and I even buy some Handcraft items. Using wood stuff is also more ecologic than using plastic stuff. About that Atari I had a 1040 ST, seeing that one brings me good memories of it ehehe :)

We hope we can discuss the advantage of having wooden equipment, to plastic, to metal. This way discussion will be better. I haven't experienced having a wooden device. Is the desktop stand counts? :lol:

I wont say there is advantage, they just look visually better because of the classic look they have. There is now a wood PS4. Image

I think if the price of wood appliances comes down, the trend will pick up.

I am planning to buy wooden keyboard and mouse 2 months from now. I will order one online, the shipping time is long because it is custom made.

The ps4 and the ps4 joystick are not relics. PS5 is not even released yet. Those are limited edition collector's item.

I think you can go overboard with it, but generally most do look attractive. I think a good combo of wood and steel is preferable.

Those trees used for these appliances I think are farmed trees and not forest trees.

Im pretty sure the atari was a Lacquer Wood Finish, the PS4 looks like it could be too, the others all look like they have more wood to them

I remembered the corners of the atari you could peel the stuff off it

I'm sort of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Wooden? Wouldn't that mean trees have to die?
On the other hand, they claim plastic is destroying our environment. So much for that investing tip in the movie "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman. :lol:

I'm not so sure I want wooden to become trendy. Can you tell me if trees will have to die? :?:

I think Bamboo is now the popular material for wooden appliances. They are not really trees, They are oversized grass.

I have recently come across a wristwatch with a wooden case and they are claiming that to be the unique watch. The range starts from about $190

Wood is quite expensive but if it was a little bit cheaper am sure it would trend again. I personally love wooden finishes gives it a classic look.
