Technology becomes retro

En un momento en el que la tecnología parece no encontrar fin a su constante evolución, aparece en nuestras vidas la nostalgia por lo retro. Necesitamos encontrar nuevas maneras de mostrar los cables y conseguir un entorno más cálido más allá del plástico. De esta necesidad, firmas como BLESS lanzaron su línea nº 26 bautizada como ‘Cable Jewellery’, y es que los plásticos monocromáticos de los alargos se cubren de cuentas de madera, ropa de encaje o brazaletes de colores. Del mismo modo, el estudio de diseño sueco Le Cord presentó en 2013 una serie de cables para cargar nuestros teléfonos de piel y tela. Se definen como “Makers of Fine Textile Cables”, y es que han conseguido que hasta Apple se haya rendido a sus diseños y que los provea con cargadores originales. ¿Será este el nuevo futuro que nos espera?

In a moment when technology seems to work in a constant evolution, nostalgia appears suddenly in our lives. We need to find new ways to show the wires and get a warmer environment beyond the white and black plastic. As part of this need, companies as BLESS has created the series No. 26, under the title of ‘Cable Jewellery‘. Stop thinking in cables as a monochromatic plastic, BLESS show us another way to enjoy technology covering the cables with wooden beads, laces or colored bracelets. In the same way, the Swedish design studio Le Cord introduced in 2013 a series of cables to charge our phones made with leather and fabric. They are defined as «Makers of Fine Textile Cables«, and also Apple has given up its designs and provides them with original chargers for this series. Will this new future that awaits us?
