Trade Arts designed and fabricated a retro-futurist gaming console prop for The Avalanches' Superfun campaign, built to read as real hardware on camera.

The brief

A retro-futurist gaming console prop for The Avalanches’ Superfun campaign. The object needed the visual character of real gaming hardware, from the console and controllers to its removable game cartridges.

Design development

Trade Arts developed the console as a 3D model before fabrication. Design proofs explored the housing and controller-cord positions, making those relationships visible before the physical assembly was finalised.

Built for handling

The fascia is held by six magnets and removes to give access to the battery for the green indicator light. Magnets also locate the game cartridges and secure the controller cords where they slot into the fascia.

These removable connections keep the components accessible while retaining the console’s clean external form.

The finished prop

The completed object brings the console, controllers, cartridges and illuminated detail together as one campaign prop. The gallery shows its digital development alongside the finished object and campaign imagery.
