Who we are
How we got On Fire...
Covid time...
A need
We all went through two crazy years, trapped at home because of the Covid virus, with little or no interaction.
During that time, I felt the need to take my eyes off the computer screen and create something with my hands, something with wood, that would free my mind.
Something that would make me dream of times with friends playing old video games from when we were kids.
I needed to prepare myself for when we could be together again.
So, with an old monitor, a Pandora box console and some wood in the basement, I made a simple arcade cabinet, in the style of the arcade cabinets that were so popular in the bars and arcades of the 90s.
It wasn’t very pretty, but as soon as my friends tried it, they fell in love with it, so much so that they wanted one for their house.
I made two more and that’s how it all started…
Product engineering
Searching for the perfect supplier
Being a good mechanical engineer, I drew a 3D CAD model of what the arcade cabinet should look like, trying to make it not too bulky, but solid and sober enough to stand in your living room at home.
After months of research, I found the right supplier with experience in video games, and with their help I had the first prototype made, and the result was WooW.
It was also not easy to find a supplier for the screen with an excellent price/quality ratio, the choice fell on industrially remanufactured screens, an economical and sustainable choice.
After several prototypes and upgrades I finally defined the perfect cabin cruiser!
