Techies and businessmen have become the icons of this era, so it's not surprising to see an item like this Steve Jobs bust designed by Sevensheaven.

In traditional form, the portrait depicts [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-2g) CEO from the chest upwards, but this representation is a lot more geometric than the typical bust form. The [3D-printed Steve Jobs bust](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pix-plato) is in full-color and texturized in a [pixelated style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paint-mirror) that renders its computer-savvy subject quite suitably.
