Balenciaga introduces a look at its new retro gaming device which only plays the snake game. The limited-edition gaming console has been gifted to the fashion house's VICs, which stands for its Very Important Clients. The design of the console is true to its aesthetic with a sleek and futuristic structure.
It also has a monochrome LCD screen that is paired with a blue backlight to fuse a vintage charm with contemporary minimalism. The house's logo decorates the interface and it is complete with slim buttons, which almost blend into the design. The device elevates form over function to ensure that it will live through being a collector's item more than a true gaming device.
