80s-Inspired 16-Bit Display Devices

Ahmed Esmael Designs a New Range of Retro Device Concepts

Ahmed Esmael has turned his attention the the 80s for inspiration by forming special 16-bit Display devices to bring attention to classic looks. The splash of colorful hues nods to past eras along with a funky aesthetic and structure. The Radio concept is bright with a pink body contrasted by various color combinations.

There is a handle at the top with the familiar buttons lined across the top before being rounded out by the antenna. The most notable part of the design is the square display by the circular front speaker which is more of a fun addition than a functional touch screen. It enhances the experience in a retro manner, adding visuals to the audio.
