[Black Lotus]

When conceptualizing was taking place there was new hype about Cyberpunk 2077 because of the tie-in anime that was released. The vaporwave/future aesthetic was on the mind and we try to capitalize on that social interest. At the time, Fractal had just released the Pop cases and with our great business relationship with them we were able to get a case pretty quickly. We wanted to use some vaporwave aesthetics because we felt there was a lot of overlap between vaporwave and the cyberpunk design. I believe the katakana on the glass, the framework city scape on the removable front panel, and the neon light-esque fans are just enough to convey the overall aesthetic while also not overdoing it.

Black Lotus began with just a name and a case. Sometimes our projects start with a mood board or a spark of inspirationthis one started with a simple idea that stuck. I was drawn to the bold front vent of the Fractal Torrent and wanted the lotus linework to reflect the design of the case. The purple accents were chosen to complement both case variants and emphasize the mystic theme. Out of all our builds, Black Lotus still stands out as one of my personal favorites.
