Wander into the Lost Woods
Some ideas do a wonderfully peculiar thing. After their conception, they take you by the hand and lead you to places you never expected. Watching them unfold can feel a lot like reading a fairytale, and in the case of Moonvein, a fairytale was indeed born. The idea started with a simple winglike front panel design. We wanted to experiment with wood and resin, and the result was undeniably magical. The tone was set and the interior began to design itself. An ornate lamp surrounding the reservoir, a jewel plate for the CPU block, an etched wooden graphics card backplate, sandblasted runes on the top panel, and lots of ethereal lighting touches. Moonvein strikes a new chord for the Ironside team, and is a reminder that sometimes a journey into the woods leads you to the most magical of places.
