Sure, your thermostat can be concealed, your purifier can be hidden away when not in use, your home gym can fit under your bed. But the Wi-Fi router can\u2019t be moved without some serious repercussions for performance. The router, by virtue of how it works, HAS to be kept in an open environment so it can broadcast the Wi-fi signal everywhere efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, hardly any companies actually spend time thinking about how home-based Wi-fi should look. Companies like Google and Apple worked fairly hard to ensure their smart speakers fit well into interior spaces, but your router is still this alien-looking device with angular forms, black plastic, blinking lights, and antennas shooting out in every direction looking like a large bug ready to strike. So Cosin Design asks a simple question \u2013 what if we merged the worlds of router design with modern art?<\/p>\n<p>Designer: Cosin Design<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>These Mondrian Routers treat the router\u2019s surface as a canvas for modern art. Inspired by the abstract artwork of Piet Mondrian, the routers translate the geometric artpieces of the Dutch painter onto the plastic appliance\u2019s otherwise cold, boring, and frankly unsightly surfaces. Black or white plastic wasn\u2019t meant for modern homes, especially homes filled with color, texture, and life. Given how routers are almost always centrally located and mounted on walls or placed on high tabletops, visible to every one, Cosin Design\u2019s routers at least try to make a visual statement through art.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Would I put such a router in my house? In fact, this project is an invitation to companies like ASUS, D-Link, Netgear, TP-Link, and others to at least experiment with unique artworks and form factors that delight instead of displease.
