The article discusses the cyclical nature of design trends, highlighting how iconic styles re-emerge in new formats. It focuses on ColorWave's retro designs for Apple AirPods, which echo the aesthetics of original Apple computers. These special editions embody a nostalgic homage, featuring the beige color of classic Macs and a rainbow hinge reminiscent of Apple’s original logo. The machined grooves on the AirPods cases further strengthen their connection to Apple's legacy, illustrating how timeless designs continue to inspire modern creations.
Everything old is new again, or at least that's often the case in the world of design. Whether it's fashion, architecture, or product design, trends come and go and sometimes return.
Designer ColorWave's AirPods Retro designs cover both the AirPod Pro 2 and the AirPods 4, bearing the iconic beige color of the classic Macs.
While good designs are timeless, the better ones not only inspire future products but can also be applied to other objects as well.
This isn't just some common paint job, though. There are actual machined grooves on the sides of the cases, further reinforcing that association with Apple's first computers.
