Apparently laptops need to be individualized, so I hope you’re looking to invest in a new computer, a Giles Deacon covered laptop to be exact. Why do I ask? Because the English designer has partnered with Intel to create an exclusive his and her’s print (pictured right) to be applied as a skin to 150 Asus notebooks.
“My own laptop is a necessity for design work both at home and abroad and Intel provides me with the technology to speed up the design process,” says Giles. “Laptops are now becoming an essential item, so providing a cover design which will fit in both an executive and personal setting is an exciting project.”
Each laptop will be numbered and available exclusively at Selfridges London in July.
Shame I can’t afford (and I don’t need) a new laptop, luckily laptop skins have been available for a while now – LaptopSkins.net has some great made-to-measure skins for only €19.95. Which means you don’t need to buy a whole new computer – a much cheaper option for those who aren’t in the market for a new computer.
Very pretty but the print’s quite un-Giles-like, no?
