LG Serie 1 – Retro Classic TV

I love when retro is in, as I love retro. I prefer the real deal. I would rather buy a coffee table or piece of home decor that was made in lets say, the 50’s rather then buy a reproduction.  However now and then something retro comes out that makes me drool.

The TV features a 14-inch screen, rabbit-ear antennae, chrome legs, an old fashioned knobs to change the channel and adjust the volume. No worries, if charm of flipping through channels the old way wears of, it comes with a wireless remote.

I LOVE IT. As someone who’s entire house is decorated from things that were made in the 1950’s to early 70’s. I love it and want it. Sadly, it’s just a design prototype from Dave Schultze.

The design features an antique type writer inspired keyboard, retro screen and old fashioned turn on switch. I would love one of these. If it ever becomes real, it better come in purple!
