AI-Generated Design of Three Gaming Chairs Based on the Atari 2600

I have to say, it kind of nails it

By Rain Noe - February 13, 2023

in Furniture Design

This anonymous industrial designer has used AI to design three chairs based on the aesthetics of the Atari 2600 game console.

Here's what it came up with:

There is frustratingly little information given: What type of AI was used, how much input and tweaking the designer did, who the designer even is. And the text inserted into the images appears to be beyond-lorem-ipsum gobbledygook and not even a real language. (Apologies if I've got that wrong and that is your language.) If anyone knows who this is, or if you're the designer, please do reach out; we've got tons of questions!

These look like they were designed by/for Klingons.

Best guess is he is using Midjourney to render the images. It is driven by prompts which combined with the language, switches and seed, one can get to a very specific look. He may have even used a reference image for the app to use. The inserted text and its formatting is generated by the app.
I messed around in MJ this AM and was able to generate imagery very similar with minimal fuss; e.g. "an online ad for the Atari barcelona gamer chair by Atari, leather, paneled wood, 70's aesthetic, Atari branding". If you replace "Barcelona" with another style or append the prompt with the designer you can reach even more specific results.
