Steampunk Desktop Appliances

The 3-in-1 Desk Device Features Analog Gears and Cogs

— November 18, 2021 — Tech
This 3-in-1 desktop appliance by Evan Huang weaves together a clock, lamp, and a set of speakers into a single device. Huang designed the multipurpose device with steampunk features for a retro-futuristic style. The desktop tool includes elements like analog gears, cogs, and wheels to complete the appearance.

The desktop fixture responds to the necessary desk equipment while saving valuable real estate on the user's tabletop. The 3-in-1 desk device by Evan Huang includes essential desktop items. As a standout piece, the gadget uses pipelines, engine cases, and gears to express its themed design. Hiang experimented with geometrical forms to contain the appliance within a cylinder, where all its inner workings and gears are safely stored. For now, the device is still in its conceptual phase.
