Andy Aaron designs and re-creates antique calculators. He meticulously crafts his one-of-a-kind calculators using antique components including heavyweight switches, cranks, and levers, which he then mounts in a large, antique-style frame so that each device not only works perfectly but also evokes nostalgia and appreciation for an era long past. From The Designer | “I strive to have my pieces look like they are functional, utilitarian, mass-produced devices plucked from some imaginary office of another era,” Aaron explains. “Perhaps from the 19th century, perhaps from a time that never existed.”
