Korean product design company [PDF Haus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-laptop) offers the 'Teleavia P111,' a television model that's inspired by a design from 1966 that shares the same name.

With this retro model in mind, PDF Haus creates a large TV with rounded edges, and a much bubblier shape than what's usually seen today. Although the silhouette of the TV is able to instantly transport one's living space a few decades back, the unique model boasts a high definition screen that supplies viewers with a perfect picture.

As PDF Haus' Teleavia P111 demonstrates, there's been a surge in the market for technology that makes use of more [nostalgic designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-technology-tech-brand-kickbacks-discman-is-nostalgic). By combining the screen resolution and compatibility with a unique design, the TV functions as a home entertainment system and [a piece of art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lg-gallery) at the same time.
