"Nostalgic for beloved gadgets from your childhood? One easy and uncommon way to celebrate these gizmos is to frame them up on your wall. Grid Studios has been deconstructing old-school gadgets for 5 years now, and to celebrate its anniversary, the company is offering a 20 percent off sitewide discount with code GRID5, though the sale event ends September 17."
"Grid says the products deconstructed in the art frame are original parts, and some of them may even show some wear and tear; however, the company uses fake batteries to prevent any hazards. Its studio is located in China, and it has warehouses in China, the US, and the Czech Republic. The frames come in two sizes, rectangular (11.7 x 16.4 inches) and square (13 x 13 inches)."
"The gadget is neatly laid out on the back of the frame, and there are labels pointing to and explaining what the parts are. On the Game Boy Advance, it highlights all of the buttons and internal parts, from the speaker and CPU to the L button and battery cover. At the top, you'll also find the year of the product's release (it's been 24 years since the Game Boy Advance launched!)."
Grid Studios deconstructs vintage gadgets and arranges the original internal parts in framed displays suitable for wall art. The frames use original components, sometimes showing wear, and include nonfunctional fake batteries for safety. Available products span Game Boy Advance, early iPhones, Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy S, first Android phone, iPods, MacBooks, chips, and consoles. Frames are offered in two sizes: rectangular (11.7 x 16.4 inches) and square (13 x 13 inches). Labeled diagrams identify buttons and internal parts and note each product's release year. The company runs a five-year anniversary sale with 20 percent off sitewide using code GRID5 through September 17.
