Humax has taken the term mashup to a whole new realm, producing a concept LCD TV designed by UK industrial designer Tej Chauhan. The set combines a retro exterior design reminiscent of the typical curvy design from the 1950’s, but boast the hardware common to the most technologically advance HDTV’s on the market. Will it hit shelves anytime soon? We doubt, but by making the rounds of the world’s most popular design show, the Humax retro LCD TV will make for some cool eye candy.

Humax is launching the LGB32-DST, a 32in LCD TV, adding to its range of models which come in sizes from 19 to 40 inches.
