It is always fascinating to see objects from the early days of technology, especially computers or video game consoles. Unfortunately, it is becoming increasingly hard to find them anymore, as most of them are destroyed or sitting in museums and private collections. Fortunately, designer Rocky Bergen found a way around this.
Bergen creates paper models of retro computers and game consoles. Despite doing it on a small scale, he manages to faithfully recreate all the features that made a certain technology piece stand out.
Best of all, Bergen decided to share his works with everyone who needs a nostalgia fix in their life. Each model is available as a downloadable template, allowing you to print out the entire scheme and then recreate the work by yourself.
“Sometimes I have little connection to the model I am designing, and other times it part of a lifelong fascination,“ Bergen explains on his website. “Whether it is something close to my heart or something “new” and exciting I am always happy to explore a different design language and share this experience with others in this unique way.”
You can find the download links for all of Bergen’s models on his website. In the meantime, check out some finished pieces below.
