We all know Panasonic as a well known brand name for Japanese electronic products that offer plasma and LCD TVs, cameras, phones, laptop computers, etc. In Japan, the brand is popularly called National or National Panasonic, and throughout Asia, it is well known as a reputable manufacturer of domestic appliances (rice cookers, fridge, radios, etc.)

The Panasonic web site has these cool retro papercrafts of their most popular selling items during the 1930's to 1950's. These paper models were designed by Kei Craft Studio (Kei Goto), one of the best when it comes to designing organic-type papercrafts.
