- The iconic album is reborn as a storage case for the SD cards full of today's Terabyte
- From the past of 1.44 MB to Terabyte present, the new bridge design to delete creatively
- Fun references of aesthetic works of art and retro computing
The floppy disks are undoubtedly a relic of the past, although they continue to resurface in unusual places, more recently, emerging in the US prison service and an entrepreneurial youtuber set out to build a floppy disk from scratch.
If you are a certain age, you will undoubtedly remember the feeling of sliding a floppy disk in a computer, listen to that quiet click and wait as files loaded little by little. That memory will return with SD card packaging inspired by SD disk, a design concept created by Indian industrial designer Ayushmaan Singh Jodha for Sandisk.
The iconic 3.5 -inch dreadful is needed and it reinvents it as a different type of storage device, as a case for today's SD cards.
From Megabytes to Terabytes
Where a floppy once contained 1.44 MB, this design protects the cards that now carry gigabytes or even Terabytes.
The idea unites the time of technology in a fun way, but with a serious practical purpose.
SD cards can be easily lost, leaving the pockets during an outbreak, hiding under the disorder in an employed study or disappearing in the depths of a travel bag. I have lost a good number of them over the years.
The floppy box provides a larger and resistant object to maintain, which makes it easier to track the small cards that store an important job.
The packaging maintains the same square profile and the iconic shutter, transforming an obsolete shape into a fresh and modern tool.
The design shows works of art that refers to early computer culture, error screens failures and retro science fiction issues. The idea is to turn cases into collectible pieces that creative may want to keep on display, not hidden in the drawers.
The sliding shutter reveals the hidden compartment where the SD card is stored, adding a small feeling of interaction to a simple task.
Is it really practical? No, but it's fun and something I would love to have.
