This should be a thing all the time.
In 2016 New Zealand ISP Orcon commissioned five New Zealand artists –Anna Leyland, Hayley King (Flox), Askew One, Andrew J. Steel, and Otis Frizzell, – to design router/modem housings.
You’re gonna have a narrow lump of plastic sitting around your house, why not make it something intriguing to look at?
I’m disappointed these didn’t go into full production. Instead Orcon did a limited edition run of 500 of each design, available to new subscribers. They’re all gone now, sad face. I probably wouldn’t change my ISP just to get one, but why can’t I buy a patterned modem when I need a new Belkin or Linksys?

That would be a great idea! I have mine stuffed into a magazine holder to sort of hide it.
