There can’t be many competitors for the title of ‘sexiest printer,’ for the simple reason that document printing belongs to the inhibited realm of the office. A Google search for the term returns multiple hits for the Samsung ML1630 and, bizarrely, the Zebra P1101. The Samsung has a certain post-Matrix charm – but the Zebra? We’re in dire straits when this hippopotamus (which it resembles more than a zebra) gets called sexiest anything – let alone sexiest printer.
Yet the new AutoDesk conceptual images by designer Aaron Hughes might just convince us that printers can be sexy. This may be because the illustrations make it easy to forget you’re staring at a printer: as Ruchi of Waylou.com writes in a 21 January post, the Autodesk might have been the brainchild of Stark Industries. How could anything so clearly designed for space shuttle missions print documents? AutoDesk have not indicated that the Hughes design will pass beyond the conceptual stage. Yet we’re already convinced these images beat out the meagre competition. Even on paper this AutoDesk surely deserves the title: sexiest printer.
