Studio Aiko Finds the Beauty in “Vintage Electronic Devices”

Posted on Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Co-founders Yair Alony and Meny Hilsenrad at Studio Aiko in Tel Aviv take time out from their diet of client-focused CG work to indulge their love for vintage tech design in this relaxed and lovingly-detailed short film.

Yair Alony and Meny Hilsenrad: “The goal of the project was to preserve the appearance of these vintage devices. The project provides a unique and innovative way of experiencing and appreciating the design and aesthetic of objects from the past.”
