This project is a collection of coasters inspired by classic video games from the 1970s and 1980s. Each design references iconic titles and the visual style of the early arcade and console era — including Pong, Space Invaders, and classic pixel-art aesthetics.

I chose the retro gaming theme for a very personal reason. These are the games I grew up with, and they still bring back many great memories and emotions. I wanted to combine nostalgia with a practical everyday object, creating something that is both functional and visually connected to the golden age of gaming.

The models were designed to be simple and reliable to print while still offering an attractive appearance through multi-color details and recognizable pixel-inspired graphics. The serrated outer edges give the designs an additional retro-electronic and arcade-machine feel.

This project combines:

pixel art aesthetics,
practical everyday use,
print simplicity,
nostalgia for classic video games.

The background and studio scene used in the presentation images were generated with the assistance of AI tools for visual showcase purposes only.

The 3D printed models themselves are entirely my own original physical prints, produced on a Creality K1C printer. The printed objects were not modified, altered, or digitally redesigned in the images — only the surrounding presentation background and lighting environment were enhanced for a professional showcase appearance.
