Love Hultén: Fusing Modern And Traditional

We’ve written about Swedish designer and craftsman, Love Hultén’s elegant retro arcade, the R-Kaid-R, before – but that’s only the beginning. Hultén creates stunning electronic devices by fusing modern technology with traditional artisan knowledge. Everything is produced, polished, and assembled in his one-man studio in Gothenburg, Sweden.
