Love Hultén is a Swedish craftsman, designer and innovator who creates unique pieces that fuse artisan construction, nostalgia and durability. His latest piece, Battlecade, is a portable arcade system for two people inspired by the head-to-head feeling you get from classic games like Battleship. But instead of putting two flimsy, folding boards back to back, Battlecade gives each player access to a retro-style six button gamepad, a 12″ LCD monitor, a detachable joystick and a myriad of old school arcade games. When you’re not busy wrecking your friends in Wrestlemania Challenge, the crafted from American walnut Battlecade folds up into an easy to carry briefcase-style shape with a leather handle. Unfortunately, the entire piece is just a concept at this point, so you can’t purchase it… yet.
