iPods and Cell Phones in 1977

In Alex Varanese’s Alt 1977 reality, the technology of today was transported and given to ourselves in 1977.

Will it be a pencil-thin Didot? How about a handlebar Futura? A walrus Hoefler perhaps? Or maybe something a bit different?

The office, consisting of 2 chairs, a table, light, electricity connection and storage, can be put together into one entire unit or taken apart to create a complete office environment. Equipped with wheels, ‘kruikantoor’ allows users to swiftly change work locations.LAUGHING SQUID

He has a great sense of color, as seen evidenced above, and the paint-y textures everywhere give his images a nice depth.
