The fever for the old school always brings us the most curious news. At the end of August, we found out that Gamestop opened a series of new retro stores where, surprisingly, the newest thing you can find is a game from the PlayStation 3 catalog. Factors like nostalgia play in favor of these locations, as they attract people looking to hold a piece of their childhood or adolescence in their hands again. Additionally, the growth of industries like video games has increased interest in their historical products.
However, what The Verge portal reports in a recent publication is quite striking. As mentioned in the article, there is a company called Grid that specializes in selling pieces of technological history. The interesting part is that they do it in a unique way: they distribute disassembled old gadgets framed as unique decorative pieces. Their extensive catalog includes old phones, video game consoles, controllers, and other retro devices.
The Game Boy Color is one of the most striking pieces
Among their products, you can find items such as a disassembled Game Boy Color or a 2004 iPod Photo, both priced above 150 euros. They also offer other historic smartphones like the iPhone 4S, Apple’s first phone compatible with Siri, or the iPhone 2G, one of the first-generation phones from the company which is one of the most expensive pieces priced at over 500 euros.
The framed gadgets become collage-style art pieces that are also presented in shadow boxes. Therefore, they are perfect items to decorate homes, offices, or any place where you want to add a nostalgic touch. Additionally, the platform often offers temporary discounts that, for example, reduce the price of items like the iPhone 2G from over 500 euros to just over 250 euros. So, if you want a piece of nostalgia in your home, you can check out Grid’s catalog.
