Curved Labs Revisits the Classic eMac with Updated Apple Design Features
In the age of the iPad and Apple’s revolutionary approach to changing how technology is used in the classroom, it’s easy to forget where it all started: the eMac (or, education Mac).
Originally designed as an affordable iMac option for teachers and classrooms, the eMac eventually became available to the masses due to high demand before Apple discontinued it in July of 2006.
Now, ten years after the original eMac was shelved, the concept designers over at Curved Labs developed a new eMac concept that bridges the distinctive teardrop shape of the eMac with more recent Apple design features:
Says the designers:
“We at Curved/labs asked ourselves: What if Apple once again – aside from the iPad – focused on the educational market with a desktop computer? And what might such a computer look like in the year 2016? The result: the eMac (2016)”
Of course, for a company that prides itself on minimalism and conservative material usage it has a significantly large footprint – but it’s still an interesting revisit to an old icon nonetheless.
