The Flat Mac
Posted in daily
Tags :Kevin Noki posted an (another) amazing video on his YouTube channel:
This project has been a dream come true! As a designer, I’ve always been inspired by groundbreaking concepts, and this time, I challenged myself to recreate one of the most iconic and unrealized prototypes: Hartmut Esslinger’s Apple FlatMac.
The video start with Hartmut Esslinger’s book, Keep It Simple: The Early Design Years of Apple which I’d never heard of, and seems out of print. I’d love to lay my hands on a copy.
Once again, Kevin’s infinite patience and attention to details is mesmerising. I love there’s an ADB port, the way he managed to customise a floppy reader to auto eject (genius!) and more than all the way he installed MacOS 9 : with a set of original floppy disks!
If you’re an Apple design enthusiast, check-it out. Happy Holidays ❄️
