The Philco PC is a computer designed by architect David Schultze, founder of SchultzeWORKS designstudio, as his entry in the “radical reinvention of the personal computer” competition.

The design draws on the retro style of the 1950s, recalling the typewriters and televisions of the period, such as “The Philco Predicta”.

The public responded immediately with a flood of orders, believing this flawless design to be a real product. The designer was therefore obliged to thank everyone and post an announcement on his blog explaining that the Philco PC exists only “on paper”!!!

David is now looking for a company to take on the production of his design…
